By 1851, only youngest son Charles was still at home.

John Thomas may have been buried at Staindrop in 1930.
It seems likely that a further son Thomas Cleasby was born in 1866 and died in 1910.
He probably married Jane Ann Allinson in September 1891 (although describing his father as a farmer seems to have been an exaggeration).
Witton le Wear.1901
Son Thomas William was born in 1890, before his parents married. It was he who registered his father’s death. In 1911, the family was at Butterknowle again (#24)
It seems likely that daughter Winnifred Maud was also registered as a patient at a hospital in Bishop Auckland (#23), with her birth place being given as her current home.1
Jane Ann died in 1935, Sydney Wilfred in 1947 and both Thomas William and John James in 1969. Winnifred Maud married William Nodding in 1929.
