Clifton family

[tibby]

Trying to build a family tree for the Clifton's. I have a John Watts Clifton born 1828 who married Elizabeth Mastin They had a son also called John Watts Clifton who married Ethel Mary Dickerson. Their son Ashley Suley Clifton was born in 1904 and he married Eva Maycock Bowers. Most of these folk originated from the Gedney, Long Sutton, Holbeach area. Any assistance would bew very much appreciated.

Thanks Eyesee, you have done it again ! I had been climbing the wrong tree, and now it's all starting to fall into place. I now have a tree from 1800 up to 2001. I now have to find ancestors of Joseph Clifton and Maria Watts who were shown in the 1841 census.
You seem to be full of information on Lincolnshire, have you got relations there?  I have just found one in Lincoln called Colin !

Just caught up with this and send message for tibby re marriage of Thomas William DICKERSON to Rebecca Ann SULEY.
If you're interested in following a SULEY line, then I think Rebecca is the dau of my gt gt gf David Suley of Holbeach.  Be glad to hear from you.

[tibby]

Rebecca Ann Suley was my grt Grandmother. I only have her line back as far as her parents David Suley and Mary Courts.  My grandmother was Ethel Dickerson, while my father carried the name Suley as his second Christian name.
