1879 was a devastating year for William Clough, partner in the private banking house of Swann, Clough & Co. on Coney Street, in the city of York. On Monday March 4th, his younger sister Blanche Hudson appeared at his home Clifton House, in a suburb outside the ancient city walls, and conveyed to him that she was in fear of her life from her husband and had consulted a London attorney about a divorce. She ignored his advice to return to her home in Scarborough and forget the whole quarrel with her husband, and killed herself three days later in St Pancras Railway Station in London. The suicide, and the inquest which followed it, with William Clough as a key witness, made the newspapers all throughout Britain. Weeks later, on May 15th, notice appeared in the newspapers that the first meeting for creditors of Swann, Clough & Co. would be on June 5th. The century-old bank had failed.

Tragedy was not new to William. In 1863 at age 29, he had married Georgiana Hulton, the 20-year-old daughter of a Lancashire landed gentryman, and niece of a Yorkshire baronet. Eight months later, she died at the Clough family's East Riding manor Newbald Hall, giving birth to a son who also died at birth. The match had been for love as much, if not more, than it had been for prestige, and a grieving William had a beautiful monument for his young wife placed in the Newbald parish church where she and their child were buried. Nine months later in January 1865 (the day after his sister Blanche married Harrington Hudson), William's father John Clough died, and the 30-year-old widower succeeded as a senior partner at Swann, Clough & Co. The bank's failure in 1879 ended not only four generations of father-son Clough bankers, but also the family's (relatively brief) status as landed gentry: Clifton House, Newbald Hall, and all of the rest of William's holdings were sold off to reimburse the bank's many creditors.

Coney Street, York

William himself retreated to the coastal town of Scarborough (yes, the same town that his sister Blanche had fled from, in fear of her life from her husband), where he died in 1890 at age 64. The 1865 funeral of William's father John Clough had been a very public occasion, with a full procession of hearse and four mourning coaches from Clifton House to York Cemetery. It was attended by a M.P., local administrators, landowners, tradesmen from York, and tenants from Newbald, and was covered by a respectful Yorkshire newspaper: "The late Mr. Clough was highly esteemed for his straightforward integrity of character and for his strict impartiality as a magistrate. As a landed proprietor, too, he had gained the warm respect of his tenantry by the liberal spirit he evinced towards them on all occasions" ['Funeral of John Clough', Yorkshire Gazette, January 21, 1865]. No newspaper reported the death of William Clough save for London's Morning Press, which simply printed the day and place of the death. The silence of the Yorkshire press reinforces the notion that, for all intents and purposes, William had died when his bank failed. There is no entry for William in the National Probate Calendar, which means that he had left no personal estate to be disposed - a sad end to a once proud Yorkshire banking dynasty.

A complete genealogical account of the descendants of John William Clough and his wife Eliza née Broughton hasn't yet come to light. The 'Clough of Clifton House and Newbald Hall' article in the late 19th-century editions of Burke's Landed Gentry only lists the children of John and Rosina (née Cumberland) Clough, and is lacking in detail. The most thorough published account of the Cloughs is that of genealogist Joseph Foster, who traced an Edward I line for banker William Clough on pp. 8-10 of his The Royal Lineage of Our Noble and Gentle Families (1884)[*1]. In his 1907 Exeter volume, Ruvigny mentioned the marriage of Eliza Broughton to John William Clough but didn't trace their descendants, except (inadvertently) for the seven children of their eldest daughter Eliza (née Clough), who married her maternal first cousin Thomas Langford Brooke of Mere Hall.[*2] The papers of banker William Clough's brother and heir Rev. John Clough (1835-1920) have been archived at the Bodleian Library, and the 2008 catalogue by Benjamin Arnold has much useful information on the fifteen children of Rev. Clough, whose descendants can be found today in England, Scotland, Africa and New Zealand. I hope to have a full account of Rev. Clough's children and grandchildren in a future blogpost. In the meantime, a full account of the children of Eliza née Broughton, and the children of her son John Clough, is given below, followed by some of the Edward III lines behind Eliza.

[*1] The Edward I descent for Rosina (née Cumberland) Clough presented by Foster in his 1884 book is incorrect. The line fails at the 4th generation: Philip le Despenser was in actuality the brother-in-law of Edward I's granddaughter Lady Eleanor Despenser, not her son as Foster has it. The line Foster presents does not intersect with the Edward I bloodline until the 16th generation, when Elizabeth St John marries his descendant Sir John Bernard, 2nd Baronet of Huntingdon.

Ruvigny's account of Eliza (Broughton) Clough on p. 227 of the Exeter volume

[*2] Ruvigny overlooked the fact that Thomas Langford Brooke and his wife Eliza Clough were first cousins. On p. 226 of the Exeter volume, he correctly has Brooke's wife as "Eliza, da. of John William Clough of Oxton Hall, co. York", but on the following page has the husband of Eliza Broughton as "William Clough of Oxted Hall, co. Yorks," seemingly unaware that he was identifying the same man.
