Re: James Clegg, shipwright L'pool, b IOM 1825

I have found a stray in New Zealand, a Jim Clegg stayed with my wifes Grand Parents in a small town called Torere, Eastern Bay of Plenty, he was what they call a drifter in the USA, we had lots of these men during the Great Depression, I will take a photograph of his Headstone next time I am down there and try and find out more about him.

Best Regards to all you Clegg's as it is truely hard to track down the strays let alone establish where they tie in at least the IOM has 20 or so common family names and once you go back 3 or 4 generations that usually gets us back to the IOM.
