Son John also gained his masters certificate from Amble in 1859. He was married to Elizabeth Barry from Whitby. He appears to have sailed on the Lyra, Providence and Sea Flower. Robert and Jonas also passed their masters certificates. The only death which i can find for John Claxton born at Cley in Norfolk that fits the father is the one buried in Beech Road Cemetary with his wife Sarah. This all seems to fit. John Claxton sen. was my great great grandfather if this is correct.
Hi Anne
I have just recently come accross this thread about MD Claxton who was my great grandfather, I have done some research and have a tree on Ancestry.com which matches many of the details you have mentioned about a few generations of Claxtons. Some of it was new to me which was really exciting to learn, I am happy to share any information I have.
Regards Mark
