CLENDINNEN in Earlston Berwickshire

[Bob A.]

Thanks for that very kind thought Terry, buy I have visited Earlstom and photographed the stones. Although I think that one may have been toppled at the time, I will check to ensure that I have all the ones you mention.

As we have several Joseph Clendinnens in our Line, But cant find Birth of this Joseph CLINDINNIN from Down or who his parents were but possibility mmaybe Brother of my John Clendinnen Born 1770 in Co Down

Hello
My great grandmother was Jane Clendinnen of Earlston (born 1847), daughter of William and Elisabeth  who weremanufacturers of the Earlston Ginghams. She married Joseph Francis of London in 1871 who lived in North London - Hornsey and Hampstead Garden Suburb, and worked for the Metrolpolitan Water Board.

On a visit to Earlston many years ago I was shwon a wonderful sample book of the Earlston Ginghams, at that time in the possession of an elderly man called John Weatherly of Melrose. I've often wondered where these are now. He also had a postcard photograph showing the Clendinnens meeting the Prime Minister Herbert Asquith on a visit to Earlston.

There's a connection with William Fairbairn the Victorian engineer and bridge buidler.

I have more information but need to look it out.
Best wishes
Jude

Just a quick note, in the Scottish Borders do not limit your searches to Bewickshire, check out Roxburghshire and Selkirkshire - minimal miles between area borders from Earlston and if not Clendinnen, Glendinning quite common over the whole of the Scottish Borders.

Just found this site and was interested in the comments/questions about the Clendinnen/Whale family in Earlston. Can I refer you to our Facebook page called Lost Earlston. I am admin for page and have just today posted photographs of Prime Minister Asquiths visit to the village in 1908. One of the pictures show some of the Clendinnen family. We also have a piece of gingham in our archive.

Thanks for the link to your Lost Earlston Facebook page. I'll have a look and so glad the photo of the Clendinnens with Asquith  has surfaced.
