McClutchy's of Glasgow area
« on: Tuesday 09 February 16 22:37 GMT (UK) »
Hello -
I am looking for information on possible relatives of my fifth gg Robert McClutchy born 1807 in or near Glasgow. He married Bridget McManus and emigrated to Quebec City, Canada in the early 1850s. I am unable to find his birth record, or any names for parents/siblings with that spelling.

Could McClutchy a misspelling of the much more common spelling McClatchy or McClatchie? Does anyone know the reason for the difference in spelling? There is a book by William Carleton called Valentine McClutchy: The Irish Agent.

If you have any info on the McClutchy line in Scotland/Ireland around that time period, I'd love lear more.

Thanks,
Sarah

Try McCletchy/McClatchie.
