Hi,
I' ve started a long road ? looking for my family tree.
My Father is Bob Clapham, his Father was Harold and his Father was Arnold who was a plasterer.They are all of Hamilton Ontario Canada. I think Arnold's father may have been Samuel?
I left Canada in 1972 for Australia and now have a lovely family here Julie my wife and two children Andrew and Rose.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Please contact me at billclapham(a)one.net.au
I am interested in any clues / contacts regarding the family described
below. Most of the data I feel is quite accurate, esp. the direct
lines from Edward (b.1780) through the two sons, James Frederick and
Robert M. Nicholson. (I believe that the "M" in Robert's name
probably stands for "Mulcaster". There is family of Mulcasters who
settled in Ontario, Canada about the same time as Robert, and could
well be a relative.)
My wife descends through the James Frederick line. Most of his
daughters and his widow (Mary Ann Clapham) emigrated to Canada in the
1912 era. One son Edward (Ned) settled in Neepawa, Manitoba, in about
1890. A couple sisters married in Neepawa as a result of visits
there.
James Frederick was successful as a Ship's Chandler / Provisioning
Merchant and retired from North / South Shields to Exmouth, Devon.
He, it is said, swam every day in the sea for exercise but one day
drowned/died while swimming. After his demise the widow and children
still at home returned to South Shields. Subsequently they and their
husbands emigrated to Western Canada.
