Valentine Clinton

Hi
Can anyone help. I have 2 references to Valentine Clinton.
1) 1842 voters list for Louth at Newhouse Ferrard
2) Death of a Valentine Clinton Civil Registration Indexes death in 1865 with age at death 16 in Drogheda registration district.
Clearly they can not be the same person and I suspect that the first is the the parent of the second with Newhouse being only circa 5 miles from Drogheda. I can find no other information on either. The reason I am looking for further information is that it might give a clue as to where an Arthur Clinton b 1792 was born. A Valentine Clinton appears later in 1880's born in London and as it is such an unusual name might be a relation carrying the name on.
Any further information would be much appreciated

Have you considered getting the death certificate for the 1865 death to see who the informant was? Could be the father, and that might answer your query.
