I had noticed the surname match, but Clark is such a common name I'd not tried to connect them.

I have Elizabeth Clark b abt 1763. Then a marriage 26 Oct 1789 to William Miller at Holborn St Sepulchre. One of the witnesses is a James Cark.

There's a possible will: PCC will for William Miller of St John Hackney, Middlesex, signed 9 Dec 1793 and proved 31 Jan 1794. I've not found a burial though. This William Miller has a wife Elizabeth, but mentions no children. One of the witnesses is a James Clark.

And then the marriage to Joseph Grout:

1st Sept 1801 at St Dunstan and All Saints, Stepney
By Licence to Elizabeth Miller, widow
Witnesses James Moston ?? and Eleanor Brown
Joseph is described as of St John's Hackney


I think the 1838 burial for Elizabeth Grout is the right one as her address is given as Stamford Hill which is where Joseph was living in 1841.
