They had a son francis andrew who married twice he and his first wife isabella had 5 children my great grandfather george leslie fraser was one of them. He was born in 1900 and he also married twice. His first wife Thelma daphne stephens died 2yrs later 10months after giving birth to my grand father Francis. So it would seem we are related if not distantly. So Francis andrew and john clement were indeed brothers how very exciting. Do you possible have any other information on any of the goldfinches, pictures were we actually came from? I have only been able to go back as far as richard being born in elham and who he married. I havent been able to find out much more at this time even the desombre side is hard to get hold of. But it is all extremely interesting. Anything at all even if you know anyone else that i might be able to talk too. Thanks so much ! Natasha
