Calling Clutterbucks - the Cameron Connection

Just thought I'd mention that I had a whole page published in today's
Watford Observer on the Watford ancestors of David Cameron, the Tory
leader.

It's well known that he descends from William IV by his long relationship
with the actress Dorothea Jordan (when he was Duke of Clarence) but in
the course of checking out Cameron's ancestry I discovered he also
descends from a Watford family called Clutterbuck, who were prominent
citizens of the town in the 18th and 19th centuries. Naturally, the paper,
for which I write a weekly Opinion column, jumped at it and printed the
family tree I put together with an article of approx 1,000 words.

So if there are listers here with Clutterbuck connections who live in my
part of the world (Watford, Herts) and think they might be connected,
give me a shout and I'll check it out. I expect the feature will appear on
the paper's website in due course but it's not there yet. The Clutterbuck
family appear to have originated in Gloucestershire but a Thomas
Clutterbuck (1707-1792) arrived in Hertfordshire and married Jemima
Meadows (lovely name!) at Great Gaddesden in 1744. Then there were,
in order, another Thomas Clutterbuck (1745-1791), Robert Clutterbuck
(1772-1831), who was a prominent historian and antiquarian and wrote a
prodigious "History and Antiquities of the County of Hertford" in three
volumes, another Robert (1798-1879) and Marianne Emily Clutterbuck
(1837-1928), Cameron's gt-gt-grandmother on his mother's side. She
married a chap called William George Mount (1823-1906) who became
MP for Newbury. Their son, Cameron's gt-grandfather, was made the 1st
Baronet Mount in 1921.

The Clutterbuck family were quite "posh" and well connected, as befits
Camerons' general background, one of them being a Sheriff of
Hertfordshire and two of them Deputy Lieutenants of the county.
