I had looked at the Sarah White marriage before as it was the one Ancestry threw up at me as a hint but for some reason I dismissed it, I cant remember why though, I'll revisit that one, like I say, I'm not glued to one school of thought and the Thomas and William combo kind of looked wrong too.
Given there background, I'm assuming rightly or wrongly that the boating thing is passed down the line, as you pointed out Thomas Clutton is listed on the 1861 census as captains assistant at 10 years old and I'll take more notice of this.
I understand that people die early and the surviving spouse marries again, the Hannah Clews thing being a case in point, and whilst she is not in my direct line, info like that does provide corroborating evidence.
Thanks for your help on this, its given me a bit to work on but hopefully I'm on the right track.
