Charlie, I searched my database for Sheldon Clark and had 55 hits. Unfortunately, most of them were for a relative, Sheldon Clarke. I did find a Clarke/Sheldon marriage in Richmond. This is from the Richmond index card file of BMD in the Land Evidence books that is on LDS film 0930852. The reference at the end refers to Land Evidence book 1, page 202. When Richmond expanded its town hall a dozen years ago or so, the card file disappeared. I used it one year, but when I returned the next year I couldn't find it. I asked and no one knew what I was talking about it. I pointed to the shelf where it had been the previous year and still got puzzled looks. Glad for the microfilm.
