Hi Everyone, Below is the 3rd and final, listing of Wills Index's 1841-1857 for Barraclough and variant's. Again, surname spelling is only listed if a variant, other entries where no spelling is provided has the spelling BARRACLOUGH. PR=Probate Register E=Entry Number I am hoping to get some more of the wills index's transcribed sometime this year, for the pre 1780 years. Rob Alexander has also recommended a transcriptional agent who I'm hoping to hire to make a start on the Deeds Register 1702-1972 held at the Registry of Deeds, Wakefield, West Yorkshire., to extract the Barraclough and variant surname entries. Something to look forward to. Tomorrow I will begin posting the M.I.'s for Holy Trinity Church, Wibsey.

Hi List, I am in the process of creating Taglines that appear at the end of messages, and I only have two so far. So if anyone has any good sites they think should be sent out on a semi-regular basis as a reminder (and I can chnage them every so often), please feel free to let me know. This might, for example, be a Bradford site, the West Riding Archives (is there one???) or a home page on which someone has posted a fairly extensive Barraclough family tree. But from where I am sitting, this Mailing List looks good.! :) Linda Barraclough Briagolong, Victoria, Australia Listowner: BARRACLOUGH-L e-mail: [email protected] PS has anyone got any idea what it is like, when your own immediate family is the only Barracloughs you have met, to drive down the main street of Wilcannia, in very outback New South Wales, and see a HUGE cattle truck coming towards you with the name BARRACLOUGH right across the front???? Scary!

Hi Everyone, Now that I have a spare minute, I just want to nominate Henry Barraclough as premier Black Sheep to the List. :) Linda Barraclough Briagolong, Victoria, Australia Listowner: BARRACLOUGH-L e-mail: [email protected] ================================================ These Henrys may all be one and the same, or there may be two Henrys. Or three Henrys. Or Heaps of Henrys. Any help in sorting them out is welcome! Henry No. 1 Born 1827 at Wibsey. Son of James Barraclough and Hannah nee Carter, elder brother of Luke, my great-grandfather. Henry No. 2 Arrived in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, on the Tasman in 1849. Aged 22 years (so born c.1827), native of Wibsey. Accompanied by Mary, maiden name n.k. Selina born on voyage, died soon after arrival. (Did she get pregnant so they had to run away?) Went to work for George Smith of Melbourne. There are other Henry Barracloughs arriving in the 1850s in the assisted shipping Henry No. 3 Married Mary Ann Fletcher. There are no death registrations before this time to tell me what happened to the first Mary. I have the original certificate from the Reg Gen (signed) and it gives 24 Jan 1853 as the date. I have the birth registration for Lawford Stroud Barraclough, born to them 1 March 1857 at Rose St, Collingwood. At that stage they have Price Fletcher, 17 months and one daughter dead. Henry is a brickmaker. (so was Luke in 1853). Victorian Birth indexes give their children as: 1854 Henrietta 1855 Price Fletcher at B'darra 1857 Lawford Stroud at Collingwood 1859 Hannah at Brunswick 1861 Henry James at Castlemaine Victorian Death indexes: 1855 Henrietta 1860 Ann at Castlemaine (Hannah) Henry No. 4 Witness at the marriage of Luke Barraclough and Susannah Hignett at Ballarat in December 1855. Luke was under age at time of marriage, but no notation of who gave permission for marriage. They already had first child, born Richmond in 1854. Henry No. 5 Tried for manslaughter of Elizabeth Lillycrap at Castlemaine in April 1862. I have inquest papers. Basically was acting as "medical botanist", quack herbalist etc. It was her 12th pregnancy. He was acquitted at the second trial, the jury could nto agree at the first. There are references to his being in Castlemaine as early as October 1860. During the trial he states he was a brickmaker and learnt herbalism as an apprentice in Melbourne. This was during the time when there was much tension between herbalists and doctors, and the doctors jumped on the chance to try and get any herbalist they could charged. Henry No. 6 This family (Henry, Mary and children) appear in New Zealand "around 1860" where Henry is a doctor. Until Carolyn Johnston started this research, he was believed to have died at an unknown time in New Zealand prior to 1880. She also has record of: Henry Barraclough, herbalist, in Cyclopeadia of New Zealand (c.1900), born Victoria, came to NZ 1868, founded business in Wellington in 1881. (I suspect this is Henry James, son of Henry) When Lawford Stroud Bararclough marries, he gives his father as Henry James Barraclough, doctor. Lawford Stroud is believed to have one brother (Harry) and a sister, Hebe, born New Zealand. Photographs of this branch of the Barracloughs are uncannily like Luke's (my) branch of the Barracloughs. Henry No. 7 Died at Boggabri (end of the earth in outback New South Wales) on the Darling River in 1890. Appears there in a directory for 1881. This is in the back paddock for my family on the Darling River. He leaves everything to his housekeeper. I have the certificate. It reads: Date: 17 October 1890 Place: Merton St, Boggabri Name & Occ: Henry Barraclough, Medical Practitioner Sex & age: male, 62 years Cause of death etc: Phthisis, seven days, Dr Haynes Name of Father: Henry Barraclough (If he is mine, it should be James) Name and Maiden Name of Mother: Not known Informant: Bridget McNeil, Boggabri, Married Woman (I THINK she is the hosuekeeper who gets all his money in his will - if there was any) Born: Bradford, England How long in Aust. Colonies: 23 years (I think he lied!) Place of marriage, age, to whom: England, twenty-one years, Mary Dove Children of marriage: three girls, names unknown. Then there is Theodore Jones Bararclough, born at Boggabri in 1909. He is not mine, and I have to chase him up. What are the chances of two unrelated Barraclough families in Boggabri. Very remote! And they all keep using surnames as middle names (mine didn't) Then there is the Lewis Smith Barraclough running around outback NSW in the 1880s, son of James Barraclough of New Zealand. I think this lot will send me bald. Would anyone like to claim any of the above??? Linda Barraclough Briagolong, Victoria, Australia Listowner: BARRACLOUGH-L e-mail: [email protected]

Looking for information on Arthur (b. 1876) and Rose Barraclough. They lived in Blue Rapids, Kansas. Arthur married Daisy Chapman in the early 1900s. Did Arthur and Rose have any other siblings? Who were their parents? Thanks! Susan Van Kirk [email protected]

g'day folks I'm the descendent of a marriage between Snowdon BARRACLOUGH (aged 24, -> dob c 1842) and Fanny LUMB (aged 23, dau of Thomas LUMB, millwright), 22 Oct 1866 at Leeds. His occupation was given as 'Grocer, Tamworth Street' and he was the son of Joseph P BARRACLOUGH. Their daughter Ruth Mary (b 1868, Hull) became my great grandmother. According to the last of her children (recently died, unfortunately), there were at least two sisters (aunts, to Delia), Charlotte and Martha (Millie), but that is all that is known. I have only fairly recently been sent the marriage certificate with ages, etc., and haven't yet had a chance to follow this up. Possibly one of you may have come across some of these names before? Or a SNOWDON/BARRACLOUGH marriage? (seems like a good lead <g>). Ruth married Patrick Lee in Hull in 1888. Place of residence was given as 46 Strickland Street. One of the 'family legends' is that "her father owned the biggest hardware store in town". Hope some, somewhere, has a like to this limb <g>. ... Maurreen

Dear All I am often happy that my one-name study is of TORDOFF, especially when I look up records and see how many BARRACLOUGHs there are compared to TORDOFFs. Now I see there are obvious advantages in numbers - I am so pleased with the progress of the BARRACLOUGH website and now this! Congratulations to you all, especially to Kim. Pasted below are the links to BARRACLOUGH in my own family. I would be pleased to hear from anyone with possible common ancestry. Best wishes from Singapore Rob Alexander Ps.

Hi Everyone: This will give you an idea of what a small world it is and how things turn up most unexpectedly. Last Saturday I had decided to spend the afternoon transcribing research material into my tree and writing letters... the telephone rang and I was off on an adventure. My next door neighbour was out driving in the morning with her husband and since it was such a lovely day, stopped in at a tiny, old cemetery about 20 miles west of Cobourg and discovered that it was full of Barrowcloughs. Needless to say, I immediately went to our library and used the cemetery finding aid and other resource files. The following is what I found: >From the 1871 Census for County Durham, Township of Hope (NAC Reel No. C9979) BARROWCLOUGH, John, 50 yrs., born England, Religion - WM, Occupation - farmer 051 A3 21 54 BARROWCLOUGH, eorge, 25 yrs., born Ontario, Religion - WM, Occupation - farmer 051 A3 20 54 >From Parish Transcripts: "Wesleyville United Cemetery, Hope Township, Con. 1, Lot 30. This cemetery is between one and two acres in size. In 1860 land was donated by John Barrowclough from the southwest corner of his farm for a church and cemetery. The church was built that year and some graves moved from plots on local farms. In 1892 more land was purchased from John Barrowclough to enlarge the cemetery..." "In Memory of John Barrowclough. Died Jan. 25, 1892 aged 72 yrs., 5 mos. His wife, Ann Lumley, died June 5, 1903, aged 83 yrs. At Eventide there shall be light. Elijah Barrowclough died April 19, 1938 (Age on stone is 85 yrs.) In loving memory of Harold William Barrowclough, Aug. 23, 1908. Beloved husband of Beatrice McKay, July 29, 1905 - Oct. 12, 1976. Ellen Brightwell, wife of S. Barrowclough, Born Dec. 17, 1865 Died Mar. 16, 1949. Simon Barrowclough, Born June 27, 1867, Died Nov. 1953. Edgar J. Barrowclough Dec. 9, 1903 - Jan. 12, 1971. In memory of Geo. Douglas, son of Rev. G. E. and Mrs. C. Ross 1905-1914. Rev. G.E. Ross, 1864-June 25, 1934, his wife Carrie Barrowclough, born Nov. 24, circa 1865. Died Mar. 6, 1934 (Rev. Ross born nr. Glasgow, Scotland). George Barrowclough May 5, 1845-1925. His wife, Elizabeth Grace Greenaway, born may 20, 1846. Died... Samuel Edson Keat, born Aug. 1860 died June 28, 1944. His wife, Eliza Barrowclough born circa 1852 Died Feb. 19, 1949." All of this information was recorded in 1976 by Edna I. Barrowclough for the local historical society. As I was using the cemetery finding aid in the Local History Room of the library, there was another gentleman in the room while my neighbour and I were chatting away about this wonderful find of "Barrowcloughs" and the gentleman said, "Excuse me, but I couldn't help but overhearing the name Barrowclough and as it is not a common name I thought I would mention that I knew Edna Barrowclough well". You can imagine my surprise. Edna apparently died a few years ago and this man attended her funeral and KNOWS for a fact that Edna, being a historian, had recorded her family history and that all of her papers are stored 'somewhere'. We exchanged telephone numbers and he said that he will get a copy of Edna's papers for me. I photocopied the information from the library and have it here if it is of help to anyone. Once I get Edna's history, I will let you know. Best wishes, Susan

Hello from Sunny but Cold Cobourg: My name is Susan Eddy and I am a descendant of Thomas Barraclough 1785-1844 and Ann Parkin 1785-1848 for sure and back farther to Paul Barraclough, died 1721 and Mary Ellis, born 1707 -- just waiting for proof. I have been researching my family for many years in the very old, traditional ways -- going to the Archives, writing snail mail letters -- you remember! A decision to go to the LDS Family Data Center in Toronto with my next door neighbour changed my research life forever -- she introduced me to genealogy on the internet. Needless to say, it did not take long for Kim to find me. Another wonderful event has to do with a second cousin of mine who had done family research for over a ten year period and who had hired a researcher in England. When Dorothy died in 1986 ALL of her personal papers were destroyed, including her genealogy research. Her only legacy was her letters to family, of which I had many, and her letters to June Benn. I wrote to June and asked if she remembered by second cousin. A telephone call one evening not only confirmed her remembrance but we had a delightful chat and she returned ALL of the letters Dorothy had written to her for over ten years which included the name of the researcher -- Pamela Palgrave. I now have information I didn't dream of finding so easily and with this and Kim's help, the connections have been confirmed. I look forward to developing a wonderful relationship with our group -- I do believe that people who are involved with genealogy are very special people and whose who are Barracloughs are even better. Before I bore you completely, I will end for now and save my "Red Letter Day" story until tomorrow. I must apologize for my first posting of the birth registration information for Ontario -- it certainly went askew in the transmission. I will try to do better on the next one. If anyone has any questions about it, just let me know. Best wishes, Susan

Ted Barraclough and Leslie Barraclough please read below: Hi Ted, Welcome to the list. Your name and tree has preceded you. Cousin Derek Barraclough sent me a copy of your Barraclough family tree awhile ago. In the hope that I may find additional information for you. I'm not sure if Derek told you of another researcher who is also descended from your tree, by the name of Mark Winton who's address I will forward onto you off list. I have found additional information from sources in Yorkshire and will forward this new information on to you. Ted are you aware that there was 2 James and Betty Barraclough producing children during the same time period in Wibsey ? I have had the pleasure :-)) of sorting out which children belong to which family. Therefore it's possible that your Israel may descend from James Barraclough and Betty Kellett and not James and Betty Breakes. I will send you what documentation I have on both families, it's my assumption that Israel descends from James Barraclough and Betty Kellett. I'm no expert, and it's possible I could be wrong, therefore I will send you a copy of my findings and leave it to you to confirm one way or the other. Now Ted, I have the pleasure of tell you and Leslie Barraclough another list member, that there is a connection between your two tree's. They connect though the line of John Barraclough bp: 25th Dec 1792 at Bradford Parish Church, who married Sarah Holden 2nd June 1816 at Bradford Parish Church, he is the son of John Barraclough and Elizabeth Bywater. It is wonderful to finally meet you Ted, and I'm really pleased you have joined us on BARRACLOUGH-L I will be in touch soon.

Hi Everyone: I just had to share this with all of you immediately. In January 1998, I was contacted by Elizabeth Gilbert who lives in England. Elizabeth was trying to find her Canadian Barraclough relatives and somehow she had found my name. Over the years, I stayed in touch with Elizabeth by fax and later, by e-mail. When Kim and Linda decided to develop this site, I contacted Kim and told her about Elizabeth and what I knew of her family history. Kim was able to tie in a connection to Brad Crockford. During this week I have been e-mailing all this exciting news to Elizabeth, with no response. This morning I received an e-mail from Kim with an attachment from Brad Crockford and the family connection is perfect. Not having a lot of patience for a terribly exciting event to unfold naturally, I just telephoned Elizabeth in England and had a delightful chat. And no, she had not checked her e-mails in WEEKS! I told her to go open them then sit down and enjoy meeting her "family". She was thrilled and I am sure we will all hear from her. I want to thank Kim, Linda and everyone who is always so helpful. It is a wonderful group and I do believe, that our Barraclough ancestors are looking down on us and smiling!! Best Wishes, Susan Eddy P.S. I will send my introduction later when I climbed down off the cloud!

Dear Tina, Greetings from an ex Bradfordian, I lived at Little Horton , but most of my family seem to have been from the Wibsey ,Lowmoor area . I am haveing difficultyin deciding which of the Sarah B arraclough is my ancestor, as there seem to be so many. My Sarah was married to Richard Boyes ,I have deducted from the census 1851 she was born about 1817, the first child was Charlesborn about 1837, they had quite a few children after this . O n the 1861 census Richard is a widower and the last child was born about 1858, so I presume Sarah must have died between 1858 & 1861.Can you help? I now live in Australia, my married name is Mallison, but I was a Wilkinson, of which there are as many as Barraclough`s in the Wibsey area, H ope to here from you , we may have other Bradford connections . Best Wishes . M ary Mallison, Queensland Australia

Hi Eveyone, Well our group in not even a week old yet and already we have a success story. John Berry, welcome to our Barraclough Mega Family Tree, from the information you sent to the group you appear to have yourself descending from the same line as me, but I tend to think that you descend from the same line as Tina Cornwell. But we can work that out, no problem and sort out the various Francis Barraclough's that were all born around the same time as each other, and all appear to be cousins :-(( They sure don't make it easy for us do they :-)) John I do have information on the Barraclough of Haworth, who were the clockmakers, all the information prior to 1791 on our tree has been supplied by our cousin Derek Barraclough in Bradford and June Benn, in London. Both exceptionally excellent researchers. Roberta Andersen, it is more than likely you also connect to our Mega Barraclough tree as well, but your connection would be further up the tree than John's. I have information on our tree back that far, but some of the lines have not been brought down. Although I have an idea which branch you may descend from. To say I am excited at this point is an under statement :-)) I didn't think I could get any more excited than I was about the Barraclough group forming, but I am :-)) May this be the start of finding connections to you all.

Tina, I have just subscribed to the new Barraclough list. I am inteested in your family connections for several reasons. I am researching references in my grandfather's book soon to be published on Hemingway's in Yorkshire. The Barrowclough (sic) family and the Crowther family are major "players" during the period of the late 1500's and 1600's. I currently am working out the property ownership of Shibden Hall and High Sunderland (both families are active in the property) One of the early references I have is John Barrowclough married Lucy Hemingway 27 May 1593. Lucy's parents were John Hemingway and Johanna Sunderland. I have several Crowther connections tied to Shibden Hall, The Lister Family and the Waterhouse Family. I would be interested in any info you have re your family history. The rights of property seem to be heavily tied to the women and marriage contracts. Let me know if I can be of help or if you can help to further trace any of the individuals. I have kept this in general terms but can supply much more info if need be.

Roberta; The CROWTHERs were active in the BARRACLOUGH family in the mid 1700s. See my family post on the list (near the bottom). John Berry.

Hello all. My name is John Berry. I reside in Southern California, USA. The closest BARRACLOUGH in my family is my GG grandmother Hannah, and the most distant, to date, is Francis BARRACLOUGH, Sr. (I think, but I do not yet know his father, who may also be a Francis.) Here is the limb: 1- Francis BARRACLOUGH, Sr. 2 - Francis BARRACLOUGH, Jr. (1723) 3 - Francis BARRACLOUGH, III (1745) 4 - Jonas BARRACLOUGH (1763) sp-Sarah BARRACLOUGH (1764) 5 - Joseph BARRACLOUGH (1784) sp-Susannah SINGLETON (1786) 6 - Sarah BARRACLOUGH (1812) 6 - Hannah (Ann) BARRACLOUGH (1814) GG GM sp-William BERRY (1799) 7 - John BERRY (1833) sp-Eliza SMITH ((1834) 8 - Anne BERRY (1857) 8 - Alice BERRY (1860) 8 - Eliza BERRY (1862) 8 - John William BERRY (1865) 8 - Samuel BERRY (1867) 8 - Christiana BERRY (1870) 8 - Arthur BERRY (1873) 8 - Theophilus BERRY (1876-1942) sp-Amelia PEAKER (1874-1966) 9 - John Clifford BERRY, Sr. (1907-1981) sp-Josefa Cecelia HASTON (1914-1995) ME >>>> 10 - John Clifford BERRY, Jr. 9 - Kathleen Olga BERRY (1909-1984) sp-Fredrick Amos RICHARDSON (1908-1993) 9 - Maurice Arnold BERRY (1910-1997) sp-June KYLE (1912-1989) 9 - Albert BERRY (1913-1913) 9 - Edward BERRY (1913-1913) 6 - George BARRACLOUGH (1816) 6 - Simeon BARRACLOUGH (1822) 3 - William BARRACLOUGH (1747) sp-Elizabeth CROWTHER 4 - Sarah BARRACLOUGH (1764) sp-Jonas BARRACLOUGH (1763) 3 - Joseph BARRACLOUGH (1749) 3 - Hannah BARRACLOUGH (1752) This group of BARRACLOUGHs were from Bradford, Halifax, Wibsey, and Elland, Yorkshire. Yes, Jonas and Sarah were first cousins in addition to being husband and wife! For those who may not know, a branch of the BARRACLOUGH family were clock makers in Haworth, Yorks. The BRONTE parsonage, on the stair landing, has a BARRACLOUGH grandfather clock. Down the lane in the villiage, the present day gift shop also has a different style of BARRACLOUGH grandfather clock. The owner, Mary, claims to also be a BARRACLOUGH descendant. The actual clock shop was 4 doors from the gift shop toward the square, away from the kirk, and is a candy shop today (1996). Any connecting limbs out there? Regards, John

Hi List, Julie has kindly sent us this, which appeared on the West Riding List, I think the Meg might be "Our Meg" Linda Barraclough Briagolong, Victoria, Australia Listowner: BARRACLOUGH-L e-mail: [email protected] ================================================ From:"Jan Sowden" <[email protected]> Hi Meg, Have not found any BARRACLOUGH's in the Land Tax Assessments for PUDSEY for 1781-1832. I checked the record for OVENDEN, a district near Halifax, WRY and found an entry for Jno. BARACLOUGH (one "R"). He was a tenant in a cottage owned by a Robert PARKER and paid #1/4/4.5d per annum in Land Tax in 1788-1790. Am still awaiting the births, christenings for PUDSEY and will let you know what I find soon as I have them. Regards Jan
