Hi Sheila, it was a few decades later than that. I’m helping my cousin with some research and he’s found mention of the takeover but not when.

I looked in 1841 census for Crocker in Street but could not see any. Some info on Clark's shoes says that it was started in 1825 by Cyrus and/or James Clark who had been in tanning business with Arthur Clothier (born 1790) . Arthur Clothier is in the 1851 census, in Street.
