    3. Mary, Thanks for the great reference! I will definitely read this diary. I am enjoying my newfound connection to George Washington's family. Attended a President's Day Dinner last night, dressed up in a Washington-esque white wig. On the menu: Lincoln Log Meatloaf, iced with cheesy mashed potatoes, a delicious Cherry Pounder dessert, and Barbara Bush's Chocolate Chip cookies. Can anyone think of any movies set in Yorkshire? I recently watched the old and new versions of WUTHERING HEIGHTS, which I loved, and some of James Herriot's movies. I'm sure there are more, though. All recommendations will be appreciated. I'm having fun planning my trip!

    3. Early on in my recent unwilling stay at the BRI,I found myself in the next bed to a Leslie Barraclough.The nurses were convinced that we should be related,and when he said that his father was called Frank,I also thought it might be possible [my ancestry has Frank/Francis in almost every generation for c.350 years] Then he said that Frank's father had been a Cornelius Barraclough,and I had a re-think ! You don't get many Cornelius Barracloughs to the pound !! I estimate that the approx.birthdates of these three were------- Cornelius--c.1860 Frank [might be bap.Francis]--c.1890 Leslie--c.1920. It would be wonderful if someone on the list has this trio in their family ; and amazing if,after all,they fit into my own family somewhere. Cheers----------Derek.

    3. Glad to hear you are home, Cousin! Lois and I are planning a trip to Yorkshire this Spring. Have you heard from her lately? Guess what? I found out my mom's father's ancestors were originally from South Cave, Yorkshire. One of them married the paternal aunt of US President George Washington and had the same great grandmother (Ann Pope Washington) as he did. And my dad's mother's folks were from Halifax. Isn't it ironic and fun that the descendants met, generations later, in northeastern Missouri?! So I'll have lots of neat sites to explore in Yorkshire.

    1. Halifax Parish Registers 1694 to 1725
    2. Jeff Sutcliffe
    3. This is one for Kim, I have been looking at the Halifax Parish Registers recently, (mainly for Sutcliffe’s) for the period 1694 to 1725 and have unearthed about 30 ‘new’ Barraclough individuals. One in particular that struck me was the baptism of William, 20 February 1725/26 son of Francis Barraclough, cornmiller of Northowram. Is this a new one for Francis B and Mary Pollard? Or is this William the son of Francis B and Martha Wood? That would make two Francis Barracloughs, both cornmillers. One living in Wibsey and the other in Northowram on that date.

    1. Early Barraclough Wills (before 1858)
    2. Jeff Sutcliffe
    3. Hi All, Further to my posting on 25 January 2005, following the update of my Barraclough web site database, I have now updated my web site database of Wills. Errors and omissions excepted, I think that my list of Barraclough Wills is now complete. Having said that I expect I will come across some more Wills not previously listed. You might also notice, that I have listed a lot of Barraclough in-law Wills. I haven’t identified these so you do need to know who the in-laws are. There is a cross reference to these if you refer to my database under ‘Misc’.

    1. Isaac Barraclough, d. 1861
    2. Mary Berthold
    3. Hi Listers, Is anyone related to Isaac Barraclough, d. 1861, who was the second husband of Sence Cadman, b. 1821, Sheffield? Their children were Martha b.c. 1851, John (b. 1853), and Isaac (b. 1857). Sence appears in the 1881 census as Sence Preswood (3rd husband Wm. Presswood d. 1865) with the three children and a grandchild Annie. I have a later Barraclough who married the son of a Cadman, and I'm trying to straighten out the Cadman line (there are three different versions of the family on the Web and IGI). Sence was the daughter of John, b.c. 1778, Sheffield, silver knife handle maker, according to one of these Websites. "My" Cadman was Caroline, b. Isle of Man 1853, daughter of Henry Cadman, b. 1813, Handsworth, later of Isle of Man and Sheffield. She married Spencer Marsh Smith, and their son Henry Cadman Smith married my ancestor Clara Gertrude Barraclough (she used the name Gertrude Cadman-Smith after she was married). Thanks for any light you can shed on this branch of the family. Mary Lodi, WI, USA

    3. Peter - This is fantastic and obviously looks very close to the mark. My Gran once mentioned she didn't really know her birthday as they were never celebrated in the orphanage - so the chances of the dates being off are very likely. Have no idea how she came up with her birthday... but always wondered if she just picked it (as it's a week after Grandad's and she is not at all Sagittarian like). Ok now... I am not so savvy with all this genea stuff, and am just finding my wings with the online searches... how do I go about ordering the certificates? And what is the FRC - I guess it is some sort of Record Centre, but not one I am familiar with. I know the Manchester Records centre, but that's obviously not it. Would you mind letting me know who I contact and how I go about taking the next step? Sorry, if I appear a dunce. I will go make a hat and sit in the corner with my notes, and promise to be real quiet for a bit. Seriously, thankyou, so much - for taking the time to do this. I realise it must have taken some time, and I really do appreciate it. I will keep my fingers crossed, that they are the ones. I look forward to hearing what I do with this excitement!

    3. Hi Kim & Nicki, I looked through the Birth indexes at the FRC today. There was a possible Stanley born in 1916 Q3, and working forward from then until 1922 Q4 there were another 3 or 4 Stanleys including a BARROWCLOUGH and a BARROWCLIFFE. There was only one Violet in these 26 quarters, and she was registered in 1922 Q1. I'll post the details of the Stanleys and Violet later. In due course I will upload to FreeBMD all the BARRACLOUGH births in these quarters, unless the consensus is that I should not do so, as they are relatively recent and quite a few will still be living. Best wishes, Peter

    1. Early Barraclough Wills
    2. Jeff Sutcliffe
    3. Just when you thought I might have lost interest and were breathing a sigh of relief, I’m back again ready to bore you with more news of the Barraclough’s of the dimmest and most distant past. I have been having a rest from genealogy since the middle of June last year, caused by holidays, Christmas and the Borthwick Institute being closed from June until January. I was visiting the Borthwick Institute recently, which has only re-opened earlier this month in a brand new building on the York University Campus. Not much to report on the Barraclough’s except that I found some more references to Wills dating from around 1500. These names were interesting: - Joan Baroclogh (Roger’s widow) and Margaret Baroclowth (sounds a bit posh to me, being a Yorkshireman) alias Creswall. I am hoping to update the list of Wills on my website with new additions and corrections soon. Perhaps someone can help me. I have found the Parish Registers for Halifax Parish Church, I’ve only made cursory inspections so far, from 1600 to 1800 on microfiche virtually unreadable. The Bishop’s Transcripts, on microfilm, seem to be easier to read but so far the only copies I have seen are in York. The original Registers are archived at Wakefield, but the archivists there are reluctant to allow the public access. The IGI seems to be a waste of time for this periodmpla Southowramerholme of Stansfieldn abode. The Halifax Parish is so large geographically that it is essential as their entries appear to be hit and miss, unreliable and lacking an abode. The Halifax Parish is so large geographically that it is essential to know if someone is from Halifax, Hipperholme, Shelf, Northowram, Southowram, Heptonstall etc, etc. Does anyone know where there is another copy of the Bishop’s Transcripts closer to Birstall than York? Whilst on the subject of the Halifax Parish Registers someone has recently (almost) completed an excellent transcript covering the years 1694 to 1725. This is still in manuscript form and is available for reference at the Wakefield Archives. I have started working through it and will update my on-line database as and when. Needless to say it contains lots of ‘new’ events not available on the IGI, or anywhere else for that matter.

    1. Re: Samuel BARRACLOUGH of Drighlington 1881
    2. Sherry Shallenberger
    3. Hello listers, I am hoping someone will be able to tell me more about Samuel and Amelia Barraclough found in the 1881 Drighlington census, RG11, 4430/61. They were living at 7 Barraclough Buildings and it says Samuel was born in Birstal and was the Registrar of Births and Deaths and that Amelia was born in Kirkhammester. Samuel and his wife's ages are given as 74 and 50 respectively, so no children listed with them, and with the age difference, it seems like Amelia could possibly be a 2nd wife. At one time we thought my ancestor, Richard Huntington, was married to a Barraclough, but it was recently proved otherwise. However, in the 1881 I did find Richard Huntington and his wife Charlotte Elizabeth Robinson living at 6 Barraclough Buildings, right next door to Samuel and Amelia Barraclough. Now I can't help wonder if there is still some kind of Barraclough connection - such as, could Charlotte's mother be a Barraclough??? I looked for marriages between Robinsons and Barraclough and I did come across one in the I.G.I. submitted by a member of the LDS church. The entry was for a Thomas Robinson who married Mary Barraclough on 7 Aug 1809 at Pontefract, Yorkshire, England, but as yet, I can't find their actual marriage record. Can anyone help me figure out this mystery? Does my line really does connect with the Barracloughs or should I just consider them neighbors and get on with my research? This looks like such a great site, so I'd love to be able to join in the fun! I'd be grateful for any help or suggestions. Sherry
