There's a few coincidences here, I suspect Samuel Clark of London and Samuel Clark of Birmingham are one of the same.

Samuel Clark, 53, Great Hampton Street, Birmingham. Samuel Clark moved to this address as from the 31st August 1836, he formerly had his workshop at 78, Summer Lane, Birmingham. He entered his mark at the Birmingham Assay Office on the 9th September 1834. He died c.1842. Samuel Clark's widow, Sarah, continued with the business and entered her name at the assay office on the 8th May 1842 using the same mark and address.
