CLOUGH OF ABERFORD
The only Clough entries in the Aberford
parish registers that could relate to the immediate family of the "Ellinora Clugh" who
married John Stanbank in 1698 are the 1706 burial of William Clough and the
1713 burial of Isabel Clough. The administration record for William confirms
that Isabel was his widow.
John
Stanbank’s wife seems to be the Ellen Clough baptised
at Bramham in 1676. Her father is described in the entry as William Clough
junior. There was a William, son of William Clough, baptised
at Bramham on 22 February 1655/56. William Clough senior of Bramham, bailiff,
was recorded as aged seventy-six in a court case of
1689. He was evidently the William baptised at
Bramham on 6 January 1614/15, son of Robert Clough. Robert was apparently a brother
of William Clough, vicar of Bramham, and son
of Thomas Clough. However, Ellen’s father was married in 1670 so it is
implausible for him to have been baptised as late as
1655/56.
A
William, son of John Clough, was baptised at Bramham
on 20 December 1647 and might be the William who married Isabel. Nevertheless,
it should be noted that at the time of his marriage in 1670, William’s
residence was given as Kippax. A Robert, son of William Clough, was baptised at Kippax on 9 June 1667 so it is possible that
William had been married previously and he could perhaps be the William, son of
George Clough, whose baptism is entered in the Kippax parish registers in the
margin alongside the 1625 entries.
