2. There were at least 4 children, that I know of, Rennee b.1923, Kenneth b.1926, Norman b.1929, Ena b. 1931 and Wesley b. 1937.
3. Norman emigrated to Brisbane, Australia 15 Feb 1951 ex. Southampton.
4. Kenneth Clinton was my father's best man - wedding picture available.
5. What became of Henry Montague Clinton?

6. Henry Montague had an In Memoriam:

Hello Elspeth,
Saw your replies when we were visiting the grandchildren so a delay before I was able to rootschat. Yes, your cousin Lynne and I would like to share Munro information and a PM would be appropriate - you need 3 posts before you can use private messaging. I have gone back to John Munro b.1752 but over that timespan there is room for error! Lynne has tried to keep in contact with Sheila but we have heard nothing for a couple of years.
This may interest you - your grandmother Jessie Munro had a brother Roderick Macdonald, Plumber in Pampa, Texas, USA.

   Thanks for these responses.
Yes there is a Shoulder of Mutton pub and a Shoulder of Mutton Lane but which came first?

My interest is the family of Michael Crozier b.1824+Isabella Charlton b.1827. They appear in the 1851 Census at Regency, Coxlodge with children Ann b.1848 and Mary b.1850. I am trying to confirm that it was this particular Mary that married Thomas Ramsay Walton.
