Norcot Clarke
published by on Thu, 10/05/2012 - 15:18

I am reseaching my great great great grand father Norcot Clarke (also recorded as Norcket 1851, Norbert 1861, Norket 1871 census). He was born abt 1812 and lived in Butcombe with his wife Elizabeth and their six children Charles, Ann, James, Louisa, Matilda and Emma. I have been able to trace all the children with the exception of the parents Norcot and Elizabeth after the 1871 census I have looked on ancestry for their deaths but can find no trace of them. Can anybody help please?

Notcot CLARK's burial is included in the transcripts of Butcombe Parish Registers which are available to members on this site. He was buried 23rd Feb 1873, aged 65. There is also a burial of an Elizabeth CLARK on the 5th Dec 1875, aged 72.

A Northcote[sic] CLARK married an Elizabeth SAGE 29th June 1828 at Barrow Gurney - Could this be the marriage of your ancestor?

Hi Pat thank you for replying to my email. The information you have provided has helped me resolve the puzzle of what became of my great, great, great grandfather Norcot and his wife Elizabeth.

Thanks again
