I whanau a Clapton i te 30 o Poutu-te-rangi 1945 i Ripley, Surrey, Ingarangi, ki a Patricia Molly Clapton, 16-tau-te pakeke (7 Hanuere 1929 <unk> Poutu-te-rangi 1999) me Edward Walter Fryer (21 Poutu-te-rangi 1920 <unk> 15 Mei 1985), he hoia 25-tau-tawhito no Montreal, Quebec. I tiimata a Fryer ki te pakanga i mua i te whanautanga o Clapton ka hoki mai ki Kanata. I tipu ake a Clapton i te whakapono ko tana kuia, a Rose, me tana tahu tuarua, a Jack Clapp, te matua o Patricia, ko ona maatua, a ko tona whaea tona tuahine matua.
