Mountford Clarkson and Ann Wadham;s family look a good fit to be
our Thomas' family
(1) They move to Kingsbury between 1766 and 1769
(2) Thomas Clarkson and Catherine Rayson named their children
Catherine(P,R), John(C,R), Mountford(C),
Hannah, Sarah(R), Thomas(P,R), Ann, Mary(C), Martha
(P=parent, C=Clarkson. R=Rayson)
ie they like family names. Mountford is
particularly significant in that it is unusual, and continues
down the family
Kingsbury and Mountford look good to me,
make this family 60%
There is a possible death for Mountford (b 1726) with a 24 July
1788 burial in Walsall
There is a christening for Ann Waddhams 16 july 1730 in
Shenstone (3 miles NE of Aldridge. Rushall where Ann married is
one mile from Aldridge)
There is an Ann Wadhams buried in Shenstone, father Joseph,
which is a bit of a tie in as our Ann called her first son
Joseph and her father was Joseph
Put Joseph and Ann at 50% and call a halt?
Update October 2017
An email
in from T.R.M.B. has some interesting comments
I've done abit
of research and viewed research done by others and it seems
regardless of whether Thomas's parents are G&S or
M&A, Thomas's Grt Grandfather is Mountford Clarkson 1672
Walsall, Staff - 1747 Walsall, Staff. He is the son of
George Clarkson and Susannah Mountford of the Gentry
Mountford family of Warwickshire which makes Thomas
Clarkson's 17th grt grandfather King Edward I of
England aswell as other links into Royalty and Nobility.
Update January 2020
An email
in from Tina refers to James
Did you know there was a
3rd Clarkson caught "coining" in London. James, I think he
is our Thomas' youngest brother, was tried at Middlesex
assizes & sentenced to transportation 14yrs. He arrived
in Sydney on the Admiral Gambier 20 Dec 1808. Although
married he lived with Ann Eaton & had 4 children

A Loose End - Richard Clarkson
Firstly refer to the discussion in "If Only"
The authors speculate that Thomas and Richard may have been
cousins. Richard arrived on the Alexander with Thomas.
However the article in the Journal of the
Numismatic Association of Australia (Vol 15) refers to the
Clarkson brothers, though it appears to be narrative in the
article, not quoting text
A possible family for
Richard is George
and Susannah Clarkson
