Re: William Moore Clague
In Response To: Re: Douglas Borough Cemetery ()

Hello Sarah,

Sorry to take so long to get back to you. I see now that William Moore Clague's father Thomas (born 1822) was one of the 11 children of Thomas Clague (1790) and Esther Kneen:
John, William, Richard, Catherine, [Thomas], James, Robert, Esther (b.1829, presumerd died in infancy), Esther (b.1831), Jane and Margaret.

I am descended from 1822-Thomas's sister Esther who married John Collister and whose children included Thomas Collister, my great grandfather. Surprisingly, I am also descended from 1822-Thomas's brother Robert, who married Mary Ann Kneale from Lonan and had two children with her, one being Margaret Clague who married Thomas Collister!

I knew from Margaret Elizabeth Moore's headstone that all William Moore Clague's 4 younger siblings died relatively young & unmarried, but I don't know what happened to him. I'd be very interested to learn about his marriage and any details of his offspring.

There has been quite a lot of work done on the Thomas Clague/Esther Kneen family by contributors to this board - from which I have been lucky enough to benefit! - so if I can help I certainly will.
