Eric, I'm fascinated by all this new information you've produced. When I return from holiday, I'll try and absorb it.

You ask about the children of Eleanor b 1787 and Thomas Clague. I've only got 9, so I'm very interested to learn about a tenth one.

Thomas Clague b 25 Sept 1808 Douglas St George
John b 18 Mar 1811 Onchan
Charlotte b 28 Aug 1813 Onchan
Robert b 18 July 1816 Onchan
William b 17 Aug 1819 Onchan
Norris b 12 July 1822 Onchan
Caesar b 25 Feb 1824 Santon
Mary Ann b 16 April 1829 Santon
Catherine Eleanor b Dec 1830 Santon

William was my g g grandfather. He was a successful builder in Liverpool and Douglas. He changed the spelling of Clague to Clegg in the 1850s. He married Catherine Clague b 1820 Rushen (daughter of Esther nee Kneen and Thomas Clague ). Catherine and William's photo is in Manx Notebook memorial notices "Mrs Clegg of Liverpool".
