The people I'm specifically interested in are:
James (b1803) and John Holsgrow (b1805), sons of James Clarke Holsgrow and Ann Stoneman
and
James Clark Holsgrow (b1801) son of William and Mary Holsgrow.
Could the two fathers, be brothers? Where does the middle name Clark come from - is it someone's maiden name that's been handed down? And crucially did the first family I mention here, drop the Holsgrow from their name and call themselves Clark - baptism records for later children seem to indicate this?
