Looking for a John Clarkson, my grt grt grandfather. Born about 1813 around London area, married Nancy (Ann) White, emigrated to Canada where first son Thomas was born (1848), other siblings followed; Lived in York Co, farmed and raised their family. Looking for his parents, or details on emigration or his marriage to Nancy.
Any info would be greatfully acknowledged; I could even reciprocate and due lookups for people in Ontario, or Canada.

Thank you
Robert

Thanks to everyone for your help. The marriage info looks very promising, while the baptism could be a hit. If I can help do lookups for anyone on this side of the ocean, let me know.

Regards,

Robert :-D

From Rob

Thanks Ginny,

This Clarkson is not the one I am looking for since the children are all wrong.

Thanks for your info;

Rob



Rob

Hi:
Further to previous postings, the John Clarkson and Nancy White I am searching for had the following children;

Thomas 1849-1925
William 1850-1939
Mary Ann 1852-1916
Margaret 1854-1927
Abegail 1857-1929 never married
Robert John 1859-1921
George Henry 1861-
Anna Louise 1864-1935
Ephraim 1865-1950 married twice
Rebecca 1869-1944
With the exception of Abegail , all the children were maerried;

Also there were several other John Clarkson-Ann, but the spouse was not a White;sometimes given as Carr (no connection to my line)

Hope this info helps;
I have marriage and death records plus census for each child but no hard copy of births;

Thanks,

Rob

So it's looking like the second 1871 census posted is the family then Robert?...

Hi everybody;
Thanks for the info The marriage of John Claxton ( perhaps a transcription error, or maybe that is what the census taker thought he heard) to Ann White 1848 York Co. looks promising. I have traced the family back from my gf to my grt gf then to John throughout the census from 1851 to 1891, and their descendants go through the 1901 and 1911 census. There were cases were the name was spelled Clarckson, Larson, given names as Thoma (but looks like to Thomas to my eyes), and other idiosycrcies. The baptism records for John Clarkson will give me something to work on, but I really do not have much before 1847/48.
Suggestions, hints, etc are always appreciated. My tree is on Genes Reunited as well as ancestry.ca. So if you want to have a look, just let me know.

Again, Thanks so very much,

Rob :-D
