Searching the IGI under the odd spelling of "CALRK," I come up with
two extracted records both showing ...
St. Margaret in the Close, Lincoln, co. Lincoln
--10 June 1556 Allayne Calrk to -----
The same odd spelling, "Allayne Calrk" is given in both batch numbers,
M011341 and E011341 (both do not give the name of the wife). The E
batch number only pulls up one "Clark" entry, while the M batch number
pulls up quite a few. Under "Calrk," Allen's marriage is the only one
given in both batches (E and M). I do not understand the difference
between these two IGI batches.
Hal Bradley's good database shows Allan Clarke and his wife Margaret
to be parents of Elizabeth Clarke, wife of Mayor Christopher Barrett
of Norwich, whose daughter Margaret came to New England:

I can't get it to display in the snippet view, but the article states
that Allen Clarke's will mentions his mother Jane Clarke, widow, of
the Bail in Lincoln.
Hence, I think the marriage record from St. Margaret in the Close,
Lincoln, must apply. How unfortunate that the wife's name isn't
given ...!!

Re: 1556 marriage record of Allen Clarke, ancestor of Barret
I'm wondering about the family of Love of Westhall, ancestral to the
Barrett of Westhall family ...

They would seem to be an ancient family, from the following feet of
fines in 4 Edward II and 13 Edward II --

http://books.google.com/books?vid=OCLC2 ... e+westhale
http://books.google.com/books?vid=0N5rO ... 3-PA474,M1
I think I also remember seeing stuff about the Loves and Barretts of
Westhall in the book _John Hopton: A Fifteenth Century Suffolk
Gentleman_ by Colin Richmond.
Has anybody done research on these Loves?

Colin Richmond, __John Hopton: A Fifteenth Century Suffolk Gentleman_
(Cambridge U. P., 1981),
pp. 76-77:
Thorington was at a little distance from Westhall. It lay to the
south and in fact adjoined Blythburgh on the west. It too was small.
Rents were under L10 in 1481-2; these included demesne arable and
pasture and what must have been a large holding in neighbouring
Wenhaston, called Wangfords. Decays, allowances, respites and
outgoing rents totalled L2. There was no court that year and there
were no expenses. Robert Payn's liveries from Westhall _and_
Thorington were a little over L10, nearly L9 in cash and 26s 8d paid
to John Reynold, as the final instalment of 10 marks, the cost of a
messuage adjoining the cemetery at Blythburgh church, purchased from
him by Sir William Hopton. The largest item on the account was
arrears, all were longstanding, Katherine Love's were outstanding.
She had arrears of L2 3s 4d which were static, but her arrears of 8s
8d annual rent were accumulating each year: at Michaelmas 1482 she
had not paid a penny since 1453 and in all owed L12 11s 4d. At
Michaelmas 1482 arrears totalled L16. None looks as if it could be
collected.
pp. 168-69:
Richard Love of Westhall, on the other hand, was a man of much wider
interests. Katherine Love, who in 1481-2 was twenty-nine years in
arrears with her annual rent of 8s 8d at Westhall, was perhaps his
mother. Richard, 'sike in body and knowyng my dayes very short and
the perell of deth aprochyng ner', made his will on 6 August 1509. He
lived at Westhall; that was where his chief messuage called Lovys was;
and he worshipped at Westhall church; there he was to be buried 'by my
stolys ende'. However, he had property elsewhere: as he described it
'londes, tenementes, rents and services in the townys of Westhale,
Brampton, Soterton or in any odur place withyn the hundred of Blithyng
in the county of Suffolk'. The scope of his worldly concerns, as well
as the range of his piety, is demonstrated by his bequests to local
churches; not only was L1 bequeathed for the new bell at Westhall, but
other sums went to Brampton, Sotherton, Uggeshall, Stoven and
Redisham. Moreover, four bushels of wheat were to go to each of the
four orders of friars at Yarmouth and Gorleston. There are other
indications of his affluence, as there are of his devotion and the
breadth of his local interests. His daughter and heir, for example,
was betrothed to William Baret, of one of the most influential
families in Blythburgh; all Richard's lands were to go to them, but
they were to provide his widow Agnes with all that she required in
food and drink and with a pension of 33s 4d a year for as long as she
remained unmarried; she was to live with them at Lovys in the 'parlour
and chamber in the East End of the Hall'. Also to remain at Lovys was
Richard's 'Messe book and ij halff portes in prynte', unless John
Crane his nephew were to become a priest, in which case he should have
them. For his soul he made unostentatious provision: 10s to the
college at Mettingham for prayers for his friends' souls as well as
his own, 13s 4d to the nuns at Bruisyard for their prayers, and
immediately upon his death five masses of the five wounds of Christ to
be sung at the chapel of 'Scala Coeli' at Westminster. As supervisor
of his will he named a Blythburgh man, probably the father of his
prospective son-in-law, John Baret the elder.
