Barclay, Clayton & Co business card

Here is a copy of the business card that led to my cousin believing that there was a business connection between Clayton and the brewery. What do you think? A tenuous link! Angela Lane

No Clayton known

Thanks for the information. The brewery was called Barclay Perkins after the Barclays who bought it, and who was Henry Thrale's manager. No Clayton - sorry!

Catherine Jewell Nettleton
Thank you for the bit about the brewery. I have sent it on to my cousin in Canada who gave me the information in the beginning! Apparently the brewery became Barclay, Clayton Brewery after Thrale's.
The Clayton was my great grandfather's brother on another side of my family unrelated to the Nettleton side. I don't know if you can confirm that this is correct.
Re: Nettleton's: Catherine Jewell Nettleton, born in 1793, married Jonathan Parsons in 1814. They had a daughter of the same name born 1817 who married Robert Nettleton in 1840. Robert and Catherine had a daughter of the same name born in 1843.

Clayton unknown
Thanks for the clarification on the Nettletons, I have updated the family tree - it all makes more sense now.
I have done some research on the Clayton's and can say with reasonable confidence, that there was no Barclay Perkins connection. Thrale sold quarter shares to David Barclay, Robert Barclay, Silvanus Bevan and John Perkins. After Barclay Perkins, the name changed to Courage.
I have books on the breweries history and loads of books on Thrale affairs, none even mention a Clayton.
However, I do have a book called The London Rich by Peter Thorold, which includes the following passage ...
