Possibly a form of Cliburn. Although it is apparently distinct in form and distribution from Cliburn, spellings definitely suggesting clay are relatively late.

The Poll Tax entry suggests a route by which this name could have been irregularly altered from Cliburn, possibly reinforced in the Netherlands under the influence of Dutch klei ‘clay’.
