Hi Peter, Thanks for going to all that trouble to put that will on list ; I think I already have a copy of that one somewhere. My head's spinning with all the info.from you and Jeff,how/if it will ever be resolved I can't imagine. Do you know which Jonas was the father of that Francis who marr.Hannah Tordoff ??? Cheers------Derek 1 [now bewildered as well as desperate]

Hi Jeff Now I am getting a bit confused. Fairly normal for me. I do have copies of the wills of the brothers Frank & John. But have those two gents as the sons of Betty ODDY. It occurs to me that your Betty OATS and my Betty ODDY just might be the same persons. Just a little error in the nameOats / Oddy would cover this. And such a transcription error would be easy. Also I have the Bap of this Abraham as Parish Register entry reads: : Abram. son of Francis Barraclough baptised 5th July 1761 Compares with your date of 11th July. Could this be another error ? Or dates of Birth then Baptism ? My problem now is that I don't know the source of the Betty ODDY name. I think I took it from the Barraclough List some long time ago. And I have not much information about her. Only the 1851 census when she was living with her daughter Hannah SMITH & fam 1851 Census piece2304 ed2 folio33 sched24 Dwelling: Slack Side Census Place : North Bierley, Yorkshire, England George Smith Head Mar M 48 Ag Lab Yorks., ?

May I please have details of the marriage 17 Apr 1786. The real problem seems to be that the Betty, mother of Hannah SMITH was age 66 on 1851 census so born about 1784 so would have been only age 2 at time of the marriage in 1786. So presumably marriied an Abraham a generation up. There were enough of them to go round.

I have Abraham Barraclough, son of Francis and Hannah baptised 11 July 1761, marrying Betty Oats on 17 April 1786. After that my notes are a bit vague. They had six children born after 1800 who were alive in 1836 and there are references to the family in the Wills of Abraham's brothers Frank and John. Perhaps Betty Oddy was Abraham's second wife, that would explain a lot.

Hi Peter, Could that be the same Abraham that was bap. 11th July 1761 at Low Moor Holy Trinity,som of Francis B.and Hannah Tordoff ? [According to my own limited database.] Or is it a different combination of Francis/Abraham altogether ? HELP KIM !!!I'm drowning in a sea of Francis's and Abrahams !!!! Cheers-------Derek 1 [still pretty desperate]

Here's my two cents worth - My Abraham married on 14 May 1747 in Wibsey to Ann Beetham. Their daughter Ann married James Smith 7 Aug. 1769 in Wibsey. Their daughter Abigail married William Cockroft 24 Jan 1811 and she was my grt, grt, grt grandmother. Diane in California

Hi Denise, Thank you so much for the'51 census for George & Hannah Smith & family.That has saved me precious time at the library tomorrow afternoon ; I can concentrate on other aspects of that family eg.Blackburn Register MIs. Hannah must have almost been a child-bride ! Christened in 1807 [but that's no indication of actual birth date],and marr.in 1823 !! I wonder what the PC register says about that. The next hurdle to clear is----which of the innumerable Abrahams was her father ? Maybe the answer will be in Kim's wonderful database.How about it Kim ? Which Abraham marr.Betty Oddy ?

Apologies Diana, I wasn't thinking straight. Yes, there is a small area called Sowerby adjacent to Sowerby Bridge, I guess you might class it as different, especially for genealogy purposes.

Hi Kim, I was looking at the J Horsfall Turner book you referred to. Regarding the Will transcript, there is a significant omission. Viz. the Witnesses; one of whom was a John Baroclough. On page 116 of the book is a reference to Barowecloghbrigg, which I haven't come across before. The extract from the 1427 Brighouse Court Rolls reads "Assessment of 20s on Hiprom (Hipperholme) tenants to repair the highway in a road leading from Balybrigg (Bailiff Bridge) to Barowecloghbrigg." This places Hipperholme somewhere between Bailiff Bridge and Barrowclough Bridge. Logically Barrowclough Bridge will be at the bottom (it's a steep hill) of Barrowclough Lane, in the valley bottom. Barrowclough Lane runs between Southowram and Hipperholme. The stream runs down past Shibden Hall towards Brighouse, (under Barrowclough bridge) and through Sutcliffe wood. On my map the stream is called 'Red Beck'. Jeff. By the way, the date on your original email was wrong. It was probably sent on 14 October 2003, but I expect you were a bit wary of the Millennium bug!! -----Original Message----- From: Kim Pasquill [mailto:football@net2000.com.au] Sent: 31 December 1996 20:26 To: BARRACLOUGH-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [BARRACLOUGH] Will of Christoper Barraclough of Hipperholme HI Everyone, This one is for you Jeff, you can put it onto your Will's transcript page.
