Claydon, Clayden, Clayton - Derby - Derby
My grandfather, Daniel Clayton (1903-1949) and his brother James Claydon (1898-?) were transported aboard the SS Corsican in 1913 from Liverpool to Quebec, Canada as part of the child emigration scheme of the time. From Quebec, they were taken to Ottawa, Ontario, and Daniel was ultimately sent to a farm in Tecumseh, Essex, Ontario. They were sponsored for the voyage from England by the Catholic Emigration Society. I believe that they had been in the Father Hudson Home in Coleshill, Birmingham before being sent to Canada. In Canada, James signed up to serve during WWI in the Canadian Over-Seas Expeditionary Force, and on his attestation paper, he listed his place of birth as Derby, England, and his full name as James Anthony Claydon. My grandfather was Daniel George Clayton. He seems to have used the Claydon spelling until about the time he married my grandmother, then started using Clayton, which is how my family spells it today. I've been looking for clues as to Daniel and James' origins, parentage, etc., but haven't been able to find anything yet. I'd be very grateful for any information, ideas, or tips, as I'm new to UK research. Thanks!
