Hi Stephen Clark is the 27th most common name in England no matter how you spell it. There are a lot of us about, a lamplighter was a very common profession especially in London as all the street lights were gas and lit by hand at dusk. Please let me know if I can be of assistance to you.

Grandfather was a lamp lighter in London. I presume an unusal job? Living Clarke's seem to be in the Bournemouth Area. Others in the Greater London area, Possibly Southwark, Lewisham, Lee. > Thank you for taking the time to read this > > Stephen > > > ==== CLARKE Mailing List ==== > GenConnect ~ Deed, have one?
