Notes

Christening of Thom Clemetshaw in the IGI on 5 September 1686 in Knaresborough, Yorkshire, father Thomas Clemetshaw. The same information is in Ancestry England, Select Births and Christenings, 1538-1975.

Entry in Ancestry North Yorkshire, England, Church of England Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1558-1812 for the baptism of Thom Shaw (sic) on 5 September 1686 at Knaresborough: St John the Baptist, father Clomo Shaw (sic). "Baptizati 1686 Sept [...] 5 Thom: frt[illegible] Thom: Clemefhaw".

I cannot find an entry for his marriage - his wife's name comes from his will.

William, David and Mary were baptised on 28 October 1725, 21 October 1727 and 23 May 1736 at St John the Baptist, Knaresborough with various interpretations of his surname. There is a submitted entry for Sarah in Knaresborough who is mentioned in his will, but John comes from his will, and I assume he is the eldest.

There is an entry in Harrogate People and Places for the will of Thomas Clemishaw a linen weaver of Harrogate dated 5 October 1757 which includes

To my son John Clemishaw the inclosed ground belonging to the Harrogate Chapel and now in my possession.
To my wife Elizabeth Clemishaw the cottage house, known as Candler House, and land adjoining, in Bilton with Harrogate.
At her death, the same to my son David Clemishaw, chargeable with £60 amongst my three children, John Clemishaw, Sarah Clemishaw, and Mary Clemishaw.
Residue of my goods, chattels and personal estate to my wife Elizabeth, whom I appoint Executrix.
