Hi Lisa. Welcome to G2G!

Are you sure about Glasgow? An Andrew Clark was baptised or born on 3 April 1833 in Ardrossan, with parents Andrew Clark and Jean White Sheddan:

<ref>[https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/search-our-records Scotland's People] Church registers - Old Parish Registers Births and baptisms. Surname: CLARK. Forename: ANDREW. Parents/ Other Details: ANDREW CLARK/JEAN WHITE SHEDDAN FR549 (FR549). Gender: M. Date: 03/04/1833. Parish Number: 576/. Ref: 30 81. Parish: Ardrossan. Accessed 25 July 2022.</ref>

Ardrossan is about 35 miles from Glasgow.

For £1.50 you could buy an image of the above record from Scotland's People (registering for an account is free, but images require credits). That might give more information.
