CLOUGH OF BRAMHAM
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 (stated to be a widow in the
bishop’s transcripts). The administration record for William confirms that
Isabel was his widow.
An
absence of earlier entries at Aberford for these
individuals indicated that they had come from elsewhere. The marriage of Thomas
Lockwood and Elizabeth Clough at Sherburn in Elmet in 1691 may be relevant as a
Thomas Lockwood was a party in the administration record of William Clough.
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 and may be the 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 may be a different person from the one baptised
in 1655/56 as a William, son of John Clough, was baptised
at Bramham on 20 December 1647.
