Hi Marilyn!
You might ask about these people at the Devon Family History Society discussion board -- there are people there who are in the area and are quite knowledgeable about Devon.

My request there was for a lookup, and someone found my grx2 grandfather's baptism right away.
Meanwhile, in case you don't have it, this is the household in 1901:
Name: George G Clark Age: 39 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1862 Relation: Head Spouse's Name: Alice M Gender: Male Where born: Braunton, Devon, England Civil Parish: Braunton Ecclesiastical parish: St Brannocks Town: Braunton County/Island: Devon Country: England Registration district: Barnstaple Sub-registration district: Ilfracombe ED, institution, or vessel: 3 Household schedule number: 165
Household Members: Name Age Mary A Adams 16 Kathleen I Brown 6 Alice M Clark 39 - Postmistress Edith M Clark 8 George G Clark 39 - Assistant (?) and shop owner Harry G G Clark 11 Winnifred A Clark 6 Mary A Ling 70
Here's Harry's birth, maybe the correct spelling of the surname:
Name: Harry George G Clarke Year of Registration: 1889 Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun District: Barnstaple County: Devon Volume: 5b Page: 471
This would be the parents' marriage:
Name: George Gould Clarke + Mary Alice Ling Year of Registration: 1887 Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar District: Barnstaple County: Devon Volume: 5b Page: 684
-- Mary A Ling in the 1901 household is George's mother-in-law.
If this url doesn't work, just google "harry g g clarke", in quotation marks like that. You'll have to copy and paste this url in another window:
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/nra/searches/subjectList.asp? subjectType=R&LR=821&_AbsolutePage=4
NRA 41275 Harry GG Clarke, ship manager, Braunton Reference B168
... I don't actually know what you do with that info, though. ;)
This is a link to the google search results:
http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&safe=off&q= +site:nationalarchives.gov.uk+%22harry+g+g+clarke%22
Not a whole lot of help, but maybe something! If you do post at the DFHS board, be sure to mention these things you already know.

From your new thread that needs deleting:
http://genesreunited.co.uk/boards.asp?wci=thread&tk=981335
"I HAVE FOUND SOME THINGS ABOUT HARRY GG CLARKE NOW IM LOOKING FOR ANYTHING ABOUT HIS SISTERS EDITH BORN 1897 AND WINNIFRD BORN 1895 ALL FROM BRAUNTON DEVON"
(divided up to make it a little more coherent)
Winnifred's name wasn't Winnifrd. Spelling matters when it comes to names.
If you go to
http://www.freebmd.org.uk
and do a search for
marriages surname: clarke given name: winnifred county: devon years: 1910 to 1930
you will find what could be her marriage. No way to know without ordering the certificate to learn the father's name.
Edith was Edith M on the 1901 census, as I copied above. If you do the search for her, you will see several Ediths and Edith Ms, with only one marriage for an Edith M in Barnstaple, which could be her. Again, no way to know without ordering the certificate.
