It is difficult to ascertain the relationship between Henry and William. These records say Henry born 1797 and William 1788 but that is clearly WRONG. In both the marriage application and the 1828 census, it would appear that Henry was born in 1793, but it would also seem that William was actually the elder, being born C1784. Are they brothers? Henry and Sarah's marriage... Henry Clark, prisoner age 25, per Admiral Gambier of the parish of Parramatta and Sarah Bellamy, free of ditto were married in this church by banns this 27 day of July 1818 by me Samuel Marsden. Both Henry and Sarah made their X marks in the presence of William Bellamy (Sarah's father) and Anne Cox who also both made their X marks in the register.
