My current brick wall is Robert A. Clarke of Baltimore, b. 1829. He had a grocery store in Baltimore at Lombard and High streets. Married twice: first wife might be Catherine second wife is Carrie children include: Robert A. Clarke Jr. Wilton B. Clarke Catherine Zenobia Clarke George R. Clarke Might be other children. I am trying to find out 1) more about his children 2) last names of his wives 3) who his parents were. 4) why I can't find him in the 1860 and 1870 census, when his store was at the above name location during those years. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
