Clemmy's in Newcastle (and Westmoreland)

[broonyboy]

Hello Everyone

Newbie here and was just wondering if anyone had come across or looked into my wife's paternal line.

I have only recently started looking into the family history, and as yet have only used the free information available on the net (and a couple of visits to the library to use ancestry).

What I have found (although not confirmed by certificates etc.)

after my wife and her farther who are both still living (and so I'm unsure if I can give details).

My wife's grandfather was George Clemmy (b.1878) married Mary McCann (b.1882) in 1902

Georges father was Henry Dewar Clemmy (1848) married Jane Gowland (b.1838) in 1867

Henry's father was Thomas Clemmy (b.1812) in either beetham or milnthorpe in westmorland married Jane Dewar (b.1811) in 1840

And I think Thomas's Father was also Thomas and mother possibly Jane was his mother (could this be a coincidence that there are so many thomas's and Jane's.

I also learnt on another board on this site that one of Henry Dewar Clemmy's son James emigrated to USA with his family in 1909.

If anyone can help or has any information, I would love to hear from you.

Many thanks.

I have a tree of Clemmy's starting with Francis Clemmy, born1814 & died in Preston 1878. I'm fairly sure his father was a Thomas and there is a connection with Carmel, (not a million miles away from Beetham or Milthorpe). It wouldn't surprise me if your Thomas (b.1812) is a brother of my Francis, he moved to Preston and had a number of children. Some had the Clemmey name, probably as a result of 19th Century illiteracy but as yet I have not explored the Clemmey's only the Clemmy's. I have researched another Clemmy in Newcastle but he may now be in Scotland. He is/was George born in Newcastle 1944; his father was also George, b.1916 and married Esther Bell on Xmas day 1939 in St Mary's Cathedral. Both are now deceased.

I'd welcome a response from you as we may be able to join two trees together. Is there anyway we can email privately? I too am a newbie and am yet to read all the instructions for this forum.

Hi Johnal

Thanks for replying.

Would be very interested in seeing if there are links in some way.  I definitely have the George you are talking about, but you are on the wrong lines with Scotland!!

Reasonably new to this, and need to bow to the experience of many on these boards.  Reply to this message and then I'll drop you a PM.

Cheers

I have a record of a couple of George clemmy's but the one that you refer to is not the one where I definitely know the whereabouts!! although still in the family.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Neale, I've just come back from a night out with the family - I'll try to reply tomorrow morning to see if we can solve a few names. Hope this is OK with you.

Interesting to see your post. Thomas Clemmey 1778 and Jane Robinson are 4th great grandparents to me. I an descended from their son Edward Clemmey, 1810, who went to Manchester, whereas your wife is descended from Edward's brother, Thomas, 1812, who went to Newcastle. Edward was a joiner, and I think had a stay in Lancaster gaol for bankruptcy. I have not got any furthur back with confidence, though John Clemmey and Agnes Walker are possibly Thomas Clemmey's parents (1778). That makes your wife and me 4th cousins once removed.
Best wishes

Hi.

Just to add to the extended family I am also  in Thomas (1812) line,  through  his daughter Margaret.

Sorry nothing concrete to add but we think  the John  and Agnes link fits OK and are also investigating a   further generation back,  (possible father of John),   Thomas who married  Ann Edmonson  in Burton, Kendal in 1742.  This Thomas was  a Chairmaker. Working with wood seems to be a very strong link through the generations.

Would be interested to hear if you have made any further progress.

Cheers
