Hi
Is anyone researching the Clayton family of Hartington Upper Quarter (though may also record in Burbage or Buxton)?
I have only limited family records and great holes in the overall picture. Unfortunately, my relatives who might know the story are now all deceased.
I have Ralph Clayton, born in about 1766 and who died in 1850. His wife was Hannah.
However, I also have Sarah Clayton, born in about 1807, who had a daughter Martha Clayton (my g g grandmother). However, I have no information on whether Sarah was the daughter-in-law, or the unmarried daughter, of Ralph Clayton.
Martha went on to have a daughter Anne Emily (later known as Annie) + 3 other children, but I am not aware that Martha ever married.
The family lived in Green Lane for several generations, and I remember the cottage as a child, though other records refer to living in Pooles Cavern.
If you are researching, I have information on some later (deceased) family members.
