Is Clarrie short for anything?
Yes. Clarrie is a nickname in most old records, and it usually points to Clarence. Less often it stands in for Clara, Clarice, and Clarissa. Expect it in British and American records, mostly 1800s-1900s. A record that says Clarrie and a record that says Clarence can easily be the same person, so search both names before you rule anyone out.
