Hi Linda, Eric Shaw signing in frae' Bonnie Scotland. My g.g. grandpa was James Barraclough b.1811 Wibsey married Ann Armitage b Great Horton 1820. They moved to Durham around the early 1840's. I cvan't trace them in Bradford at all.

I am researching my great-uncle, Arthur Barraclough, born in 1876 in England. He had a younger sister named Rose. His mother may have been Mary who married Charles Vickers. Arthur and his family immigrated to the USA in the late 1880s. I am located in Kansas, USA. Susan Van Kirk [email protected]

Hi Kim and All I wondered why the list suddenly had so many postings! Nice to know where so many come from. I'm researching the family of my g grandmother of the Lincolnshire Barracloughs, but of course they went to Lincolnshire from Yorkshire in the early 1800s. And we seem to have the descendants tracked quite well. Its Joshua who came to Lincolnshire to be with his sons that we are rather stymied on. Where did he die? And who are his ancestors? Ted Keal has some good ideas, but we could always use more information. Anyway, I live in British Columbia, Canada. At least two of my "researching" cousins are on this list, who can answer for themselves, and there are two others who may not be. They live in Melbourne, Australia and Cumbria, England. I just realized that over 50 years ago I went to school on Sea Island, a suburb of Vancouver, B.C. with Lois Barraclough. If she's on the list I'd love to hear from her. We never thought we were related, but who knows. Jeannette Claridge

Dear Kim,My name is Ann Barraclough Mullaney.I was born in Low Moor60 years ago and attended Holy Trinity[Wibsey Chapel].My Father and his parents and grandparents were all born in Low Moor or Buttershaw or Wibsey.This is as far back as I have been able to get.I now live in Raleigh ,North Carolina.Kind regards. Ann.

I have only one Barraclough but be assured I save every BARRACLOUGH email message as some day this will all come together. Mary BARRACLOUGH m. Eli GRAY, 07 April 1811, somewhere in the Bradford area (most likely Wibsey). They may have had a son or more likely grandson named Eli who d. 19 June 1891 at age 52 in Farnley. Paul Gray Naples, Florida Researching in WRY, YKS, England: GRAY, BARRACLOUGH, BATLEY, BAYFIELD, BELFIELD, BOWER, ILLINGWORTH, LIGHTOWLER, RAYNAR, WATSON, and WOOD

Hi All, This is Adrian Teerlink, USA. I'm a Barraclough researcher. My grandfather, Harold Fawbert Barraclough, was born in Halifax, Yorkshire in 1888. It's nice to be a part of all this. You all will hear more from me in the future. Adrian Teerlink Kim Pasquill wrote: > Hi Linda, > > Wow! we are certainly growing :-)) which is simply wonderful.

I am Ted (Theodore) Barraclough originally from Connecticut and now South Carolina USA. I am a descendant of Abraham b. Ca 1650 and Martha? with many "maybes" along the way. My main quest is "what happened to GrandPa". Rufus Barraclough b. 22 Apr 1875 in Wortly, abandoned his family about 1914-15 and presumably returned to England.

Hi List I'm living in Massachusetts, USA. A descendant of Margaret Barraclough and Joseph Kellett m.1810 Bradford. Debi

Hi List; I'm John Berry from Dove Canyon, California, USA

That's a great idea, Kim. I live in Sherwood, Oregon, USA and am researching my grandfather, Joseph Barraclough who was born in Eccleshill 30 Sept 1873. He along with his wife and son emmigrated to British Columbia, Canada in 1902. Gloria Wilkinson nee Barraclough

Dear All, Yet another new Barraclough ancestor of mine: Bradford Parish Church, 8 April 1857 Thomas Barraclough, 24, Bachelor, Dyer, Bierley, William Barraclough, Weaver Mary Ormondroyd, 23, Spin., Weaver, Wibsey, Joseph Ormandroyd, Labourer Anyone any links to this? I have their children from the 1881 census, where Thomas claims to have been born in Norwood Green. I also have quite a lot of Ormondroyd ancestry of Mary. But would like to know more of their descendents! Best wishes Rob

My information starts with a Joseph Barraclough marrying Elizabeth Sherwood who was born in 1874 in Leeds, England. Their son was also named Joseph. He was born 30. Sept 1873 (so obviously my dates are flawed...) in Eakels Hill, Yorkshire, England. He married Gertrude Ellison who was born in 1874. He died on 12. May 1954 in North Vancouver, B.C., Canada. Their son was named Joseph Roland, born 5. April 1900 in Leeds, England. He married Elizabeth Dykens Essenwine, who was born 16. Oct 1889 in Victoria, B.C., on 30. March 1921 in Vancouver, B.C. He died 8. May 1968 in Vancouver, B.C. The last Barraclough is my grandmother, Gloria, who I believe may still be on this list... Any info would be appreciated!

Dear Jennifer,I just realized that I had completely misread your message.I had read it as Elizabeth and Joseph MARRYINGin 1874.I now see that you said Elizabeth was BORN in 1874.So just disregard what I said [though it's quite true]Let me know if I can be of any help.Ann -----Original Message----- From: Jennifer Hesse [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, August 23, 2000 3:49 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [BARRACLOUGH] my Barraclough family My information starts with a Joseph Barraclough marrying Elizabeth Sherwood who was born in 1874 in Leeds, England.

Dear Jennifer,My name is Ann Barraclough Mullaney and I was born in Low Moor ,Bradford,Yorkshire in 1939.I'm sorry I don't have any information on your ancestors but you said that obviously your dates were flawed.I feel I should mention that it was not at all unusual to have children first and marry later.My father's oldest brother and sister were in this position.It was to do with inheriting property---in our case my Grandfather was not supposed to marry until the age of 21, so he waited to marry even though two children were already born. I think the village you mean is Eccleshill,Bradford.Please email me if you think I can be of any help with such things as place names etc.or a detailed map of Bradford and surrounding area.I live in Raleigh ,North Carolina.

Hi List, Have just been off doing some listadmin stuff (Welcome Jean), and had a look at how many of us there are. Just so you know - there are now 22 of us on the Digest Mode, and 42 on the List Mode - making 64 altogether. That is a right fearsome lot of Barraclough researchers. <very big grin> Cheers Linda Barraclough Briagolong, Victoria, Australia Listowner: BARRACLOUGH-L e-mail: [email protected] http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~surreal/barraclough/ A descendant of James Barraclough m Hannah Carter 1825 at Bradford.

Hi Tina, I live in Bradford and although I'd have to look up for you at our archives exactly what churches are listed for Eccleshill I can tell you there is only one church off the top of my head in Eccleshill village. Calverley is officially in Leeds, quite a distance on the outskirts of Bradford. Greengates is a bit further down the hill than Eccleshill and its probably easiest to say its next to Calverley. Its probably 6/7 miles outside Bradford City Centre. There is a Bolton in Bradford - I live there. The main church within Bolton would be St James' which is on Bolton Road. I think its been open since the mid 1800's but again I'd have to check to be sure. Bolton is about a 15 minute walk (2 ? miles) outside the city centre - there is also an area of Bradford called Bolton Woods, just to confuse matters. I think the main church there is called St Chrysanthemums or something similar. If your Barraclough's, as mine originally came from North Bierley it would have been quite a walk for them - completely the other side of town. Hope this helps a bit - I'll keep my eye on things and on my next day off if you're all still interested, I'll try to find out what churches there are there. Good Luck !

Dear All, Time to introduce myself, although I don't actually have anything helpful to offer just yet. Six generations of my family in India since 1792 have included just one BARROWCLOUGH that I know of. Elizabeth Barrowclough (c.1817 - 1881) married Alexander McCOMBIE - Music Master to the Governor - in Bombay in November 1832. Thanks to the brevity of early Indian records I have no idea who Elizabeth's parents were or where she was born. She and Alexander had 11 children in India and returned to London for good during the 1870s. Not a lot to go on, but her predecessors in India must have come from Britain. I'm working on it (in the British Library). Meanwhile, I'd be very interested to hear from anyone who knows of any Barra/Barrowclough in India or who might have served with the Army in the East Indies. I don't find any mention of India in the list archive, but would be happy to track down Indian records for anyone with Barracloughs who might have been there. Jill (Cambridge, UK)

Hi Everyone, Below is a transcript of the transcript of Holy Trinity Church Wibsey Parish Register together with the Bishop's Transcript that was transcribed by Hartley Thwaite in the 1960's. Please only use this as an index, and if you find an entry that you think belongs to you, please either check the Holy Trinity Church Wibsey Parish Register or the Bishop's Transcripts for Wibsey. There is a copy of the Bishops Transcripts held at Bothwick Institute. The Transcript covers the years 1661-1837. But please be aware that there are years missing and some years seem to be incomplete. The missing years are: 1662,1663, 1664,1670, 1690, 1695, 1697, 1700-1703 (Although Mr. Thwaite tells us that the transcripts for Bistall and Bradford during this time period of 4 years suggests that many more bap, mar & bur of Wibsey residents took place at those 2 churches than was normal) May be there was building works going on at H.T. Wibsey during those years ? Also the year 1724 is missing. Years that seem to be incomplete are: 1664-1688, 1693 & 1715. I have only come across one Barraclough so far, that I think may belong to one of the missing years, 1724. There was a Francis Barraclough I think that was baptised in that year, but until I can find a Will that shows Francis as a son, than I can not be 100% sure.
