Hi Alistair

Thanks for the info and help,this religious stuff is above me but Im learning.I tried the Free Church to no avail on the website.Where did you find the below info I couldnt find it on the website you sent,it looks interesting. 

However, it seems incomplete and I wonder if technically its the Free church one you need for Clement. Small tries quite hard to play him down as a radical that tried hard, got sick and moved on in the direction of Pollokshaws where he quietly faded out.

But then, Andrew McCallum's history of Pollokshaws (Pollokshaws : Village & Burgh : 1600-1912) at pages 84-85 reveals a lot more more, including that Clement's selection as minister at Pollokshaws was strongly opposed (though obviously he won) and that this helped split the church again. No genealogical data in it, but it must be good to have such interesting ancestors and this must be worth another, more insistent, trip to the Mitchell...

This entry in Wikipedia will help to throw some light upon the general  background of your relatives when they took their places in the Church and the secession of the congregations.

[RJ_Paton]

The church going folk of Pollokshaws appear to have been quite a fractious lot and first split up in 1799.
The book "Villages of Glasgow" refers to another event just prior to 1847 where the congregation split over the choice of minister with the congregation forming two seperate churches.... although it does not mention your ancestor by name it does tie in with the information you had.
