Benjamin Clark was born on 29th February 1799 at Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England. He was Christened on 24th March 1799 at St Peters in Cambridge.

Ann's parents were Joseph Shuker and Elizabeth Harvey.
She was born on 19th June 1801 in Cambridgeshire. She was Christened 17th May 1903 at St Giles, Cambridgeshire.

Benjamin and Ann were married on 25th September 1820 in the Holy Sepulchre Church in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England.

They had 12 children over a period of 25 years.
The children were born from 1820 to 1845.

Benjamin died at Sugarhouse in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA on 4th November 1867. He was buried at the Salt Lake Cemetery in November 1867.

Ann passed away 24th June 1848 at Fulbourn District, Chesterton, Cambridgeshire aged 47.

Benjamin remarried on 25th May 1850 to Ann Southwell, then his third marriage was to Ruth Butterworth on 28th June 1957, 4th marriage to Martha Larkins on 3rd March 1866. As he is listed as dying in Salt Lake City and buried there he must have immigrated to USA sometime between 1848 and 1867. I am not sure where his three marriages took place. I do not know at this stage if there were any more children born after 1845.
