Barclay is my mothers maiden name and it's this line of my ancestry that I've been researching. So far, I've identified several generations of the family with the oldest being my great, great, great, great grandfather - John Barclay, who married his wife Margaret in 1784. The eight generations so far are as follows:
John & Margaret
John & Menie
James & Ellen
John & Agnes
John & Sarah
Ilene & Eddie (my parents)
Paul & Gayle
James & Niamh (my children)
Each generation before my grandparents had large numbers of children and adopted a common naming convention of the time meaning that only a handful of names were ever chosen. In the next few posts I'll give a brief summary of each successive generation.
