Clough of Newbald coat of arms [Sable a fesse, humettée, ermine between three leopards' faces argent] |
Tragedy was not new to William. In 1863 at age 29, he had married Georgiana Hulton, the 20-year-old daughter of a Lancashire landed gentryman, and niece of a Yorkshire baronet. Eight months later, she died at the Clough family's East Riding manor Newbald Hall, giving birth to a son who also died at birth. The match had been for love as much, if not more, than it had been for prestige, and a grieving William had a beautiful monument for his young wife placed in the Newbald parish church where she and their child were buried. Nine months later in January 1865 (the day after his sister Blanche married Harrington Hudson), William's father John Clough died, and the 30-year-old widower succeeded as a senior partner at Swann, Clough & Co. The bank's failure in 1879 ended not only four generations of father-son Clough bankers, but also the family's (relatively brief) status as landed gentry: Clifton House, Newbald Hall, and all of the rest of William's holdings were sold off to reimburse the bank's many creditors.

A complete genealogical account of the descendants of John William Clough and his wife Eliza née Broughton hasn't yet come to light. The 'Clough of Clifton House and Newbald Hall' article in the late 19th-century editions of Burke's Landed Gentry only lists the children of John and Rosina (née Cumberland) Clough, and is lacking in detail. The most thorough published account of the Cloughs is that of genealogist Joseph Foster, who traced an Edward I line for banker William Clough on pp. 8-10 of his The Royal Lineage of Our Noble and Gentle Families (1884)[*1]. In his 1907 Exeter volume, Ruvigny mentioned the marriage of Eliza Broughton to John William Clough but didn't trace their descendants, except (inadvertently) for the seven children of their eldest daughter Eliza (née Clough), who married her maternal first cousin Thomas Langford Brooke of Mere Hall.[*2] The papers of banker William Clough's brother and heir Rev. John Clough (1835-1920) have been archived at the Bodleian Library, and the 2008 catalogue by Benjamin Arnold has much useful information on the fifteen children of Rev. Clough, whose descendants can be found today in England, Scotland, Africa and New Zealand. I hope to have a full account of Rev. Clough's children and grandchildren in a future blogpost. In the meantime, a full account of the children of Eliza née Broughton, and the children of her son John Clough, is given below, followed by some of the Edward III lines behind Eliza.
[*1] The Edward I descent for Rosina (née Cumberland) Clough presented by Foster in his 1884 book is incorrect. The line fails at the 4th generation: Philip le Despenser was in actuality the brother-in-law of Edward I's granddaughter Lady Eleanor Despenser, not her son as Foster has it. The line Foster presents does not intersect with the Edward I bloodline until the 16th generation, when Elizabeth St John marries his descendant Sir John Bernard, 2nd Baronet of Huntingdon.

Who was your favorite cowboy, Rock Hudson?
ReplyDeleteIf we're talking Hollywood cowboys, then my favourite is Heath Ledger.
DeleteOkay. I liked him better as a medieval knight.
ReplyDeletePlease note that the Edward III descent for Lady Rhoda (Amcotts) Broughton (Generation F14 above) is incorrect. It turns out that Lady Jane (Fulnetby) Amcotts (Generation F11 above) was the daughter of Sir Vincent Fulnetby by his 1st wife Jane Herndon, not by his second wife, the Edward III descendant Margaret Dymoke.
