Marchington,

Marchington is a small village in East Staffordshire, England. It lies between the towns of Burton upon Trent and Uttoxeter.

My Henry Butler Clarke was from Staffordshire.

?? or a co-incidence??

Oxford University Alumni, 1500-1886
Henry Butler Clarke is Henry, of Somersall, co Stafford, cler. WADHAM COLL., matric 19 Oct 1885 age 21

Sorry - Glitterbaby, you are of course correct :-D Blame it on the new glasses!!!

Not sure why you think the 1904 probate posting is wrong

His address was in France but he died in Torquay

Thanks Detective. I did see that info. The image that Glitter Baby sent through was correct.

Yes, I'm certain that he was a Professor. He won't appear (only as a child) in the Census because his father ( a Minister) went to work in Spain.

From Wiki

Henry Butler Clarke (9 November 1863 — 10 September 1904) was a lecturer on Spanish at the University of Oxford's Taylor Institution from 1890 to 1894, and an author of books about Spanish literature and history. His best-known work is Modern Spain, 1815-1898, published posthumously in 1906.[

Clarke was partly raised in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, on the French-Spanish border, where his father was Anglican chaplain. He studied at the University of Oxford, and in 1890 was appointed lecturer on Spanish at the Taylor Institution. He resigned as a lecturer for reasons of health in 1894, but remained Fereday Fellow of St John's College, Oxford, and continued to write and research. In 1898 he was invited to give the annual Taylorian Lecture, choosing as his subject the picaresque novel.[2] He died in Torquay in 1904.

The quoted death above in Torquay doesn't quite tie up with a death in the Pyrenee!!
