We will try to help you but if anyone knows of any living relations please do not post information on the Forum but reply directly to dmclark by clicking on her name and then using the contact button.

There was a Dennis S CLARK listed as living at 24 Stonebridge Road in 1949 - 1952 (the only directories I have at home)  He was not listed in 1956 anywhere in Weston so may have moved elsewhere before emigrating to Canada. 

By using FreeBMD I can see that three children were born in Weston with the surname CLARK and mother's maiden name CABLE - You mentioned Anthony (1943) and Denise (1948) but there was also a John T CLARK birth registered in 1946 - do you know anything about him?

Do you know when Dennis Stanley CLARK was born? - there are two possible births in Weston on FreeBMD one in 1921 with a mother's maiden name of SHALLISH (mistranscribed as SHALLIDE) and one in 1925 with a mother's maiden name of SPILLER.  If we can find his father's name we might be able to trace some relations for you.

Dorset is a County not a Town so that widens the search for Hannah CABLE - Do you know when she was born?

Where did you find her name given as Sarah MORRIS?  When the Banns were called in Winscombe her name is clearly given as NORRIS and his as Jesse Weeks BROOKS (of Cheddar).  When the Banns were called at Cheddar the entry reads Jessy WEEKS alias Jessy BROOKS and Sarah NORRIS.  The transcription from the Marriage record at Cheddar on our site gives her name as Sarah NORRIS.  The GRO index also gives her surname as NORRIS.   

Thanks Shaun. A very convoluted mystery.  In your ancestry research do you have Sarah Morris 1826-1894 as Jesse's wife?  The one child Issac's middle name is Norris and usually the wife's maiden name was sometimes added to a child's name, so have thought his wife could have been a Sarah Norris, however, it is one letter different than Morris so perhaps a transcription error...?  Will have to re-check and confirm or deny.  Still trying to untangle the Weeks/Brooks/Turner/James web...if there is one.  Will keep you informed if I am successful.
