Jervoise Clarke was the son of Samuel Clarke of Bloomsbury, London, and his wife, Mary Elizabeth. He was entered Emmanuel College, Cambridge in 1751.[2]
At the 1768 general election he was returned as a member of parliament (MP) for Yarmouth, Isle of Wight,[3] but was unseated on petition the following year.[4] He was returned for Yarmouth at the 1774 general election, and in 1777 he took the additional surname Jervoise.[2] He held the Yarmouth seat until he resigned in 1779[3] to stand at a by-election in Hampshire. He won the seat,[5] and was re-elected in 1784,[6] but was defeated at the 1790 general election.[6]
He was returned to the Commons the following year at a by-election for Yarmouth, and held the seat until his death in 1808.[3][4]
