Clutton is a village within the Chew Valley in Somerset in the Bath and North East Somerset Council area on the A37 road. It is located 10 miles from Bristol and Bath, very near Temple Cloud. The nearest town is Midsomer Norton [5 miles]. There is a long history of coal mining in the village and the surrounding Somerset coalfield, but the mines are no longer working.- wikipedia

Weird - she definitely says b Clutton and lists Job on her MC, but there is no Baptism listed at FreeREg, even tho there are for other siblings, and parents marr, in Clutton
Mercy is too old to be the daughter of unwed older “sister” (eldest Rose b 1808)
there is a baptism for a nameless baby from 1820, is this her??????
there is also baptism in Clutton in 1819, parents Rueben & Hannah - could be Job’s brother???
