Clarke's of Crocker's Cove in early 1800's

Clarke's of Crocker's Cove in early 1800's

Surnames: Clarke, Clark, Reid
Hello I am seeking information on a Clarke Family that appears in the Carbonear Area Methodist Records. The home town is listed as Crocker's Cove.
Their Names were Joseph and Elizabeth Clarke
They baptized three Children that I have found.
Joseph Clarke Jr. bap. March, 25, 1832 at 10 mos Old.
Mary Ann Clark bap. August, 20, 1833
James Clarke bap. August, 23, 1836

It is my belief that this is the Mary Ann Clarke who married Joseph Reid, so I would be her GGG Grandson.
Information Grandfathered to me has Victoria Village listed as Mary Ann's hometown, but without absolute certainty. This baptism of a Mary Anne Clarke is the only one I have found in all of Carbonear district, that has the right timeframe for Mary Ann's age.

My GGG Grandparent's had 11 Children including my GG Grandfather Moses.
They made their Home in Russell's Cove.
The earliest baptism I have for Joseph and Mary Ann Reid from Russell's Cove is Joseph Jr bap. 1858.

I would love to connect with Anyone descending from this Union to assist me with adding this Clarke branch to my tree with certainty.

Thank you in Advance for any help.
