That rules her out then!

If I recall correctly (I was looking at them yesterday) William Clark, from the marriage above, is a gilder and his father was a weaver.
Mary Ann's father was a dyer.

Yes, Joseph Bates and Julia Bates were witnesses. Everyone left their marks. 8 Church Street, Mile End New Town was the address given for both William and Mary Ann.
