FAMILY HISTORY PICTURE GALLERY

John Thomas Clingly was born on 14th April 1872 and was the sixth child and second son of Seigfrid Klingele (Frederick CLINGLY) and Anne WELLBURN. Baptised with the name Klingele on 25th April 1872, he was known as Clingly in subsequent records and within the family - as they all were. John Thomas was a clock maker and repairer and married Mary ATKINSON (b. 1873) in 1892. They moved to Seaham Harbour and then Hartlepool, both in County Durham - but John Thomas continued to work in Sunderland and travelled through to work there, which must have taken quite some time in those days. Mary lived to the grand old age of over 100 years.
