Louis Clague

[Trapper]

I am trying to find the mother of Louis Clague b.1862 whose Father's name was John, Louis married a Margaret Ann Thompson( b. 1872) in 1890 in Hensingham Cumbria, I have no date of birth for John or what part of the IOM they where from. Any help would be appreciated.

I think Louis/Lewis might be the son of John Clague and Eleanor Killip.  I traced back from the 1891 census entry for who looks to be your Lewis (first thing will be to confirm that it is the right guy because I am fairly sure I have traced back the one person correctly but it's worth nothing if the 1891 guy isn't your man).

It's possible that Eleanor is the daughter of Patrick Killip and Isabella Moore who married 21 Jan 1807 Lonan Isle of Man (see 1861 and 1851 census entries).

Please keep in mind that this is my best attempt at finding matching records in the indexes and none of it is absolutely certain.  With all this iformation I would suggest you have a look at the IGI as well as Brian Lawson's site (www.lawsons.ca) to see if you can find more leads on your Clagues and Killips - marriages, burials, wills etc.  Also check out Manx Notebook (http://www.isle-of-man.com/manxnotebook/) and the Manx Genealogy Message Board (http://www.isle-of-man.com/cgi-bin/interests/genealogy/bulletin/index.pl?noframes;#499007).

Have fun with your IOM research!

Cheers,

Thank you Ruth, so much info, I am sure this is the family I will do some searching and see what I can find. Thanks again.

I`m new to this site, which I discovered by accident this evening, looking for my Clague ancestors. I am descended on my mother`s side from the Robert Clague mentioned in the IOM 1871 and 1851 Censuses, and the elder brother of Lewis. Like Lewis, he ended up in west Cumberland, at Cleator Moor, not far from Hensingham. He too worked as a miner. Our side of the Clague family seems to have disappeared nowadays in England, but I have cousins ( and,probably, their children,) who carry on the name in Australia. I`m currently trying to establish contact with them, but have had no success so far. I`ve so far got the family back to John Clague ( c. 1780) in Lonan.

Hi,

Yes our side does seem to have died out, I am still researching If there is anything I can help with, please let me know.

My gr x3 grandmother's sister Ellen Fargher married Phillip Clague around 1795 in the Isle of Man.  My grandmother was Esther Fargher.

Esther's son Richard Lawson moved to Hensingham, Whitehaven before 1841, with his wife and family.  They lived there for years, all splitting up around the area.  I'm not sure if there are any others besides myself who are descendants of those Lawsons.  But it seems a coincidence that your Clagues moved to the same place doesn't it? 

There probably isn't much of a connection, and they most probably never knew that they were related, and living in the same place.

Regards

Rosemary
