London, Clandon Co. England

Question

Can anyone fix this location?  I found villages of West Clandon and East Clandon but they're in Surrey, and London is in Middlesex if I recall correctly, so I'm not sure what was intended here.  Obviously the town name could be correlated with the surname but there are no sources on the profile.

There was a John Clanton who immigrated in 1636, but nobody knows where he came from.  Somebody is just guessing.

It's unlikely he was the father of Marmaduke, who seems to have been an immigrant himself, and it's not known where he came from either.

We're told there was an Edward Clanton or Edward Crichton Clanton born in 1690, but nobody seems to have anything on the generation put in to link him to Marmaduke.

Thanks, RJ.  Your comment and that page agree with what I think: no evidence for any of these older links.

Frank, in a word, No!

Parts of London (South of the Thames) were in Surrey but the Clandons are not in Greater London. They are still village-like though very much part of the Surrey commuter belt.

Surrey parish registers are on ancestry and both East and West Clandon date from the 16th C but no hits using the index. I didn't browse through page by page.
