Albert Clayton was born on February 24, 1895, in England. He married Edith May. Soon after, the couple was recommended for missionary service. From this union, three children were born: Peter, Monica, and James Clayton.
In the early 1920s, Albert Clayton and his family joined missionary Eric Harold Barker in evangelistic work in Ilhavo, Portugal, in a rented house, where they worked for approximately two years alongside their Portuguese brother Luiz Sapateiro.
The year 1925 marks the beginning of a new and different phase in the ministry of the Clayton couple, when they depart from the port of Liverpool, England, bound for Brazil, aboard the ship Darro, disembarking at the port of Rio de Janeiro, along with their two eldest children, on May 6th.
In Brazil, the Clayton couple initially joined Mr. McNair in missionary service in the Zona da Mata region, between the states of Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo, but soon after this adaptation phase, they settled in the rural area of Paty do Alferes, in the state of Rio de Janeiro.
The house where the missionaries lived in the rural area is located in a place called Sertão dos Coentros, near the "Casa de Oração" ("House of Prayer" - Meeting Hall). At the time, there was no electricity there, and Mr. Clayton built a small dam by impounding a nearby river. Thus, by the end of the 1930s, the missionaries' house and the House of Prayer were receiving electricity generated by this small power plant. Another achievement of Mr. Clayton in the area was opening a road that provides access to the upper part of the Sertão dos Coentros region, thus saving several kilometers of travel for the residents of the region and for himself, with his unforgettable "Land Rover".
The Clayton family home was frequently visited by many residents of the region seeking remedies and help for various ailments. These were homeopathic remedies that they brought in certain quantities from England to meet the demand, and for this purpose, Mrs. Edith was in charge of attending to the residents.
On one of the family's frequent trips to England, the one in 1967 was marked by the death of Mrs. Edith.
In 1968, Brother Albert Clayton was preparing to return to Brazil, where he had left his heart. He was on his way to the Brazilian consulate in Glasgow, Scotland, to finalize his return documents when his car crashed, resulting in his death. Mr. Albert Clayton was promoted to the Heavenly Homeland at the age of 73.
