1836 Poll Book

Miles Clayton, Crumpsall Terrace, Cheetham. Chief rents, arising from freehold houses and shops on Swan Street

In the meantime, I've ordered the DC for son John Clayton just to see if he may have been married. Although the details record his father's name, so perhaps not. We shall see.

I don't have access to Ancestry so I can't check the death of Catharine on there, but on Findmypast it definitely says wife of Wm. - there are other records for William which is abbreviated in the same way and look exactly the same on the same page.

I must admit though that it seems a good fit apart from name of husband.

The one that died 1800 fits better
and when you view original on ancestry.co.uk could it be something other that Wm??

A private tree on Ancestry has Catherine born 22/7/1772 to Thomas and Ann nee
Tongue married Miles and died 21/1/1800.

Ann Tongue married 1752 to William Buckley
Anne Buckley a widow married 3/11/1760 in Manchester to Thomas Grierson a dealer in Linen Yarn.

Thomas Grinson (Grierson on original view) at same place as Catherine on 8/2/1771 by Thomas and Ann.

The death of Catharine Clayton aged 27 in Manchester isn't the right one as the image is on Findmypast and it says she was the wife of William, NOT Miles.

She lived at Sandywells, Salford, , died of "weakness" and was buried in Mr. Blackmore's vault.

Thank you everyone - will post more when I've done more research. :-)

I found them on ancestry.co.uk

That son John was buried by J.E. Booth, Incumbent of St. Stephen's who was the husband of my Great Great Grandmother's younger sister. A family connection!

Yes Malyon, I had found the son John baptized 22.12.1812 and he is the son of Miles' second wife SOPHIA HILTON. The dates add up so this death probably is him. Good snooping.

Thank you Mary. I have the daughter Mary died 16.6.1800 "daughter of Miles Clayton of Manchester". Where did you find the baptism for her and also the death for Catherine with the helpful age at death, please????


Looking good. :-)

did miles have another son

Mary Clayton Baptised 21/8/1799 Salford buried in Heywood Lancashire as said 16/6/1800 her dad Miles Clayton and no mention of mother so it looks like the death age 27 for Catherine Clayton buried 21/1/1800

Maryb.

If it is Elizabeth's gal, then Catherine's daughter Mary who died on 16.6.1800 was probably a poorly little thing and didn't survive without her mother??

safc: I had found the possible 1800 death but discounted it because I thought she was too old. Now I can't find it again!
Please help.

family search has a Catherine Clayton died 21st Jan 1800 Manchester. If this is her looks like she may have possibly died in child birth.

Catharine Clayton
England, Cheshire Bishop's Transcripts, 1598-1900

burial: 11 February 1806 St. Chad's Romiley, Cheshire, England
residence: 11 February 1806 St. Chad, Chadkirk, Cheshire, England

I have been working on the same sort of theories as ErikaH. Divorce practically impossible so presume died.

Where is the 1772 possible birth, please?
