'Pa' Clayton, or Robert Aubrey to give him his full name was an evangelist and farmer who Lived at Welney House on Welney farms. Behind the house was a stock-yard surrounded by byres, barns and a smithy. From the back door and through an archway took you to his evangelical church which he had converted from a cattle-shed. There was a baptistry in the church where he baptised me after my conversion in about 1960. He took great joy in converting souls to born again christianity and some amusement in the idea that he had also converted a cow-shed.

Hi Carl,I am currently residing in New Zealand, but hale from the Claytons of Thorpe Arnold, near Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire, England.

I have a Matthew Clayton b 1806. married Rebecca Christian 9 Jan 1828. According to Parish Records (Thorpe Arnold) Quote "On Friday the 28 February 1845 we know that several people emigrated from Thorpe Arnold to New York. They sailed from Liverpool on 5 March 1845, they were: Matthew Clayton and his wife Rebecca with their son and daughter and Stephen Clayton, c 13 September 1811( Matthew's Brother} with his wife Mary Ann Cook b c 1816 m 21 January 1835 at Melton Mowbray. I have checked the naturalization papers for a Matthew born 1806 but the family names are different so I hit a wall. Graham John Clayton [email address removed] ,
