  • Poulton Clarkson Roadblock by James Michael Fleming © 2020
    Poulton Clarkson Roadblock by James Michael Fleming © 2020 Introduction This is a summary of my research into the Poulton and Clarkson families of Lancashire. I started this project as a search for the origins of John Poulton and his wife Elizabeth Clarkson, who arrived in Sydney NSW aboard the SS Fitzjames in 1860. Having succeeded in that aim, I then extended the research to earlier generations of their families. Family historians often find information about a person’s origins from their death certificate (which usually details their parents’ names). In the case of John Poulton, his Death Certificate is no help because the informant (who was just an orderly in the hospital where he died) did not know his parent’s names. Worse still, I have not even been able to find a death certificate for his wife Elizabeth Clarkson (who left the family many years before her husband died). This situation is known by family historians as “a roadblock”, where the normal research techniques have not provided the information required to go back into earlier history. Nevertheless, there are research approaches that can sometimes find a way around a roadblock like this. In this case, I succeeded by focusing on a fellow-traveler. Jim Fleming is a retired Customs Manager and lives on Sydney’s lower north shore. He began researching his family history in 1983 and has been a member of the Society of Australian Genealogists since then. Aside from genealogy he was enjoying travelling and singing baritone in two choirs - before COVID19 interrupted those activities. Researching: Bowen, Flowerdew, Gardner, Gordon, Grady, Hanrahan, Jolliffe, Kemp, Kessey, Murphy, Poulton, Press and so many more!

A county of stunning coastline, rich countryside and canals that cut through historic cities and industrial towns, Lancashire is a place of unique contrasts and credibility. It is home to the UK’s first mass leisure resort as well as its oldest continual festival. It originated the Spinning Jenny in the nineteenth century and the jet engine in the twentieth century, and, where once the industrial spirit and passion of its people brought cotton and textiles to the world, they now attract international renown for their research into new and emerging technologies and Michelin stars and awards for their world class food and drink. We are incredibly proud of Lancashire’s culture. As a sector, culture and the arts attract over £7 million investment from ACE, augmenting the £34 million County Council and Local Authority combined total spend on culture.
