hello
I am hoping that someone will be able to help me or at least point me in the right direction as i have hit a brick wall!
John Clarney -
He first appears on the census in 1851 in Hexham, Northumberland a tobacco pipe maker b 1832 Carlisle, Cumberland,
He then marries in 1857 to Margaret Nicholson in Durham, but his name has changed to Mclaren, on the marriage cert his father is William Mclaren labourer.
In 1861 and 1871 on the census he is still a Mclaren always consistent with being born Carlisle Cumberland, all his children are born as Mclaren's.
Then in 1881 Still living in Framwellgate Durham he has changed back to being a John Clarney, and so have all his children (his wife died in 1869)
He carries on being a Clarney and dies as a Clarney in 1909.
His children are all born as Mclarens, but any that marry or die after 1871ish are Clarney's except my gg grandfather he lived his life as a Clarney but when he died he had reverted back to a Mclaren (1950)
Clarney is the name that has carried on through the generations!
I had heard that the name had originally been Mclaren by a past family member.
Sorry that is a bit long winded but didn't want to leave out any vital info!
I cannot find a birth record for a John Clarney or John Mclaren born about 1831/1832 Carlisle Cumberland, can anyone help please???
Also why would he have changed his name back and forth, i could understand if they had moved area after each name change but he stayed in Durham?
Any theories would be most welcome
Cheers
