Research Notes
- It is entirely possible this is not the correct John Clayton mentioned in Roger's immigration record as the occupation for John was listed as 'stonemason' not 'shoe maker' or 'cord wainer'; furthermore, this John and Jane lived in Thirsk, Yorkshire. However, no alternate marriages between a John and Jane have been found in the Rochester region thus far. Gormly-107 00:39, 25 May 2017 (EDT)
- The parish of St Chad, Rochdale, resided partly in Lancashire and partly in Yorkshire. See: https://familysearch.org/wiki/en/Rochdale_St_Chad,_Yorkshire_Genealogy

I agree with Gormly-107 check Rochdale for 1811, John Clayton married Jenny Clegg could also be a fit for the parents of Roger Clayton. Jane and Jenny are interchangeable. To be a stonemason is a highly skilled job and not likely to change it to become a shoemaker, unless he was injured and could not work as a stonemason anymore.
