Especially since Jeanette has already put me in the frame!! I live near London but was born in Barton-on-Humber, Lincolnshire and I am descended (like so many others) from James Barraclough who was born in Wakefield in 1805 and settled in Barton, married a local girl and started the Barraclough Dynesty in the town. The very large families of his descendants ensured that there are thousands of us all over the globe. We are all searching for James' father Joshua who we know married Elisabeth Horner at Harewood, Yorkshire on 25 June 1798. So far we haven't located his birth and any help from the group would be very very welcome. James started a shipping line on the River Humber (sloops and keels). The men were nearly all master mariners for several generations (including my own grandfather). Regards Ted Keal > >

Further to the information on the Barraclough clocks. There is one in the Bronte Manse in Haworth, on the landing of the stair case in a niche on the right. There is a second down the path to the village in the small shop two doors to the left as you leave the path past the church. The shop owner is also a Barraclough descendant. The Clock makers shop is four doors further away from the church, on the same side of the street as the church, on the corner and was, in 1996, a candy shop.

Hi Jean, Yes, it's a first name not a title. I didn't include dates because the Major and his wife Annie are living in Calgary, Canada. As a general rule I try to keep personal information of living parts of a tree to a minimum for privacy reasons. Major's father seems to be a weak area of the line with no dates too. Major has three siblings, George Edwin, Alice & Walter Cyril. Walter, his father, had six siblings. Elsie, Gertrude, Leonard, Clement, Johnny & Eveline. I'm not likely to be any help to you at the moment as I have just stuck my toe in the shallow end. I am warming up though to the idea that Frederick C. Hunter suggested to me. A collaboration on a website for this particular line, he has the info & content and I have the skills (like to think I do anyway<grin>) to make it.

Hello Steven. You put no dates to Major Barraclough - presumably this is a first name, & not a military title? Do you have details of his father? My grandfather was reported to have had cousins named Sergeant, Major, Colonel & Admiral Barraclough, (not all brothers,) & while Colonel & Admiral are no mystery at all, & in fact appear more than once on the family tree, I'm still trying to 'collect' the the others. Grateful for any help, Regards Jean.

I wish I could say yes, Jean, but alas... My WOOD is Hanna (Ann) WOOD, b. 1813 in Bowling, North Bierley. She m. David LIGHTOWLER in 1834 and d. in Farnley near Leeds 27 Dec 1890. Unfortunately that is all the information I have on her. I'll keep your info on file in case something crosses in the future. ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, August 28, 2000 9:55 AM Subject: Re: RE: [BARRACLOUGH] How Many of us are there????

Hi, my turn. I live in Yorkshire, just 10 miles from the ancestral patch of Wibsey. My Mum, bless her, b. 1900, always pronounced it 'Wipsey,' & said she was born at Wibsey near Bradford. If she could only see it now! (or perhaps not!). Jean

Hello Jill. My great-grandmother (not a Barraclough) was born in India in 1861, & the record of her birth is held in the India archives. The address that worked for me in 1998 was:- Mrs Westwater, c/o O.I.C.C., 197 Blackfriars Rd, London SE1 8NG. The initials stand for Oriental & India Office Collection. I have a feeling that you need to know an approximate date - they don't just look for any 'John Barraclough" etc. that they happen to have. They also hold records of marriages & deaths of British subjects there, & will send / sell photocopies. Regards, Jean.

Hi To All, Been watching the list for quite awhile but didn't have much of a line to investigate until a week ago. Some kind soul passed along my e-mail to a Frederick C. Hunter which provided a line from Canada back to Yorkshire for me, thank you whoever it was. The line is as follows: Beverly Anne Barraclough ( My Aunt) Major Morris Barraclough m Annie Casson Ward Walter Barraclough m Beatrice Marsden Edwin Barraclough(1862-1929) m Lucy Ann Lumb William Barraclough(1768-1853) m Ann Radcliffe Edwin was the one who came to Canada apparently. I myself live in Northern British Columbia and originally came from Brighton, Sussex, England. I run the Boniface Internet Group(BIG) and the Dunkerton Internet Group(DIG) as well as the mailing lists that go with them. This does leave very little time for an excursion down Barraclough Lane of course but I hope to make time somehow in the coming months. Regards Steven R.

Hi, I am Pat Spearman of McAlester, Oklahoma. The Barraclough line comes in for me with Frances Barraclough married in 1610 to John Wright, Birstall, Yorkshire. I haven't been able to progress any further back from her. Nor have I been able to carry forward, not knowing who her siblings or parents were. Still, I enjoy reading the emails on the name as they come through.

Hi Everyone: I have not been in touch for a very long time but still read everything that is posted and will one day be back to active genealogy. For the records, I am in Ontario, Canada and look forward to the results of the survey. I also came across the following information two days ago and want to share it with you in the hopes it may help someone. In a book entitled "Yorkshire Clockmakers" by Brian Loomes (1985, Littleborough), the following is recorded on pages 44 and 45: "Barraclough, John (Thorton/Bradford 1838) At Thornton, Bradford as clockmaker and hardware dealer in 1838. Painted dial longcase clock signed 'Barraclough, Thorton' recorded. May be from Haworth, see below. Another reported similarly signed. Barraclough, John I.

Died 1880 at Thornton. Barraclough, Thomas (Haworth b. 1818, d. 1866) Born 1818, son of John I. Married about 1846 Elizabeth Feather and had issue: 1847 John, 1850 James Edwin. In Main Street 1851-1866. Barraclough, Zerubbabel (Haworth b. 1799, d. 1878) Son of John I, born 1799. Working at Haworth by 1838. Died there 1878. Clockmaker. Name sometimes abbreviated Zbl. Barraclough, Zerubbabel II (Haworth/Leeds) Born 1824 son of John II. Worked initially at Haworth, then in 1887 set up in business in Leeds at 54 Briggate. Some clocks are signed, 'Z.

Hi Kim I'm just replying to your request. My name is Naomi Barraclough and I live in Callander, Ontario, Canada. My Dad is Robert Barraclough Jr. He came to Canada from New Jersey. His father was obviously Robert Barraclough from Port Norris, NJ. He died in 1994. His Father was Harry Chester Barraclough who died in 1965(?). His Father, Joseph Barraclough was the one who came over seas from England. He lived until the 1930s. For a while now I have been trying to find out from where and why he left. These Barraclough's where all newspaper men. If anyone has any info, I would greatly appretiate it.

Hi Jill, Welcome to the Barraclough group, I am probably not going to be of that much help to you regarding your India, research, but hopefully when you get back to Britain, I can then be of a lot more help. Jill, if Elizabeth and her husband went back to London in the 1870's than it should state on the next census return where she was born. e.g.: Britain or India. Have you found them in any of the census returns for London as yet ? I would imagine that they should appear in the 1881 Census Surname Index that has been published by the Church of Latter Day Saints. Maybe someone in the group, who has a copy of the 1881 census surname index on CD could do a lookup and see if Alexander and Elizabeth Mc Combie together with their children are listed on the CD. Also, I have heard that any births that took place in other countries of British Subjects were record and sent back to London. I think they are called the Consulate indexes ? (if someone in the group is more knowledgeable about this than I am, please jump in with your knowledge about this subject) I would presume that if her father was serving in the Army in the East Indies and she was born in India, then there should be an entry in the indexes for her Birth. Sorry I could not have been of more help at this time, but please keep in touch and if you find out any more information on Elizabeth's parentage then please let us know.

Kim, and Yorkshire Barracloughians .... Thank you for the welcome ! You've raised some interesting questions about Elizabeth McCombie (nee Barrowclough), but I'll try to keep my reply as brief as I can. First - she & Alexander arrived from India in January 1871, so they appear on the 1871 census on which her birth place is given as Yorkshire, but since the alleged birthplaces of several family members definitely born in India are wrongly recorded in census returns, I'm taking that with a pinch of salt. She died 4 days before the 1881 census night, so unfortunately that's no help. Oddly, her father's name doesn't appear on her marriage record (Bombay, 1832) which, along with considerable additional evidence leads me to suspect that her mother was Indian and that her parents weren't married. What I think likely is that her father was born in Yorkshire, but not Elizabeth herself. It's quite likely that attitudes to Anglo-Indians being what they were at the time, Elizabeth would have preferred to claim Yorkshire as her birthplace since it would make her appear thoroughly British. If she really _had_ been born in Yorkshire, what the heck was she doing in India without her parents? She was 15 when she married Alexander ......they could have died there of course, but ..... Records for births of British subjects overseas are kept in all kinds of places depending on where they occurred. (See Geoffrey Yeo, 'The British Overseas' - a Guildhall Research Guide to relevant resources.) Ecclesiastical Returns of births, baptisms, marriages, deaths and burials in India are kept with the Oriental and India Office Collections in the British Library where I've been systematically slogging away at 6 generations of my family for the past 3 years. I've posted all this because I can't find a name for Elizabeth Barrowclough's father and I suspect that since she was born in about 1817 - probably in India - someone somewhere is going to be missing a Barrowclough, and that he took ship to India somewhere between 1800 and 1817. Please let me know if you think you know who he was ! Sorry ... that wasn't very brief, was it?!
