Linda Clayton was born in Yorkshire, England but has lived for more than thirty years in Ireland. Her first career was in nursing and she held posts that included Sister in the Intensive Care Unit of Sheffield Children's Hospital.

Linda obtained a certificate in genealogy from University College Dublin in 1999. Her final year research project comprised the construction of a database for pre-1864 applications to the Trust Fund of Thomas Charleton (documenting the marriages of children of day labourers in County Meath). Following completion of her UCD course, she commenced work as a professional genealogical researcher and has gained wide experience in Irish probate research, family history and British Army records.

She is currently a Council member of the Irish Genealogical Research Society (IGRS) and is Secretary of its Ireland Branch. Linda is also Secretary of the Council of Irish Genealogical Organisations (CIGO) on which she represents the UCD Certificate Genealogists' Alumni Group. She was a member of the committee that organised the 4th Irish Genealogical Congress, held in Trinity College Dublin in 1991.

In addition to all of the Dublin repositories, Linda regularly visits the U.K. National Archives (Kew) and the West Yorkshire Archive Service.
