Hi Jeff, A long time ago I looked at the original Bradford PC registers right from the very beginning ; could hardly read/understand them and gave up in despair. I copied down the transcript and thought that someday I'd try to check the marriages against the originals just to see if the transcriber had got them right,but I never got round to it. I have also got 50 baptisms from 1599 to 1700 from the same transcript,therefore not 100% certain if they are accurate.They should all be checked against the original records too. I'll post them on the list in the next day or so,they might be of interest to someone. Cheers--------------Derek 1

Hi Derek, Thanks for publishing the marriages. Just one or two comments. Charles was married on 26 January 1634/35. Abraham was actually on 30 April 1638 On your next list Abraham was married on 1 February 1664/65 I got Paul's marriage as 4 September 1675, but I'm not as confident about this one, it could have been 14th. John was married on 17 February 1678/79, by Licence Jonas married Margaret Copley on 8 August 1680 I got Francis marrying Martha Webster on 18 June 1683, not Margaret, but as you say the Registers are difficult to read. Finally Abraham was married on 23 January 1693/94. I haven't been able to check the pre 1630 marriages yet, as I haven't looked them up. I can confirm that I didn't find any more male marriages, but I certainly found a lot more female marriages. I did think about publishing them to the list as you have done, but I don't really have the time to take them off my database. Then I thought, why not put my database onto my web site as a PDF file, that way I can keep updating it and it will contain a lot of original material from all around that area, such as at Lightcliffe. I have a Barraclough page to put it on, so I'll have a go and see what happens. That should be easier than filtering the database and doing a plain text output.

Hi Kim, These were taken from a modern transcript at the library.I haven't checked them against the original record [very hard to read],so may not be 100% accurate. They are all male Barraclough marriages. Comments in brackets were NOT in the transcript,they are my thoughts. 1602 Dec.7th.Robert [bur.9.2.1619 ?] with Grace RAYNOR. 1608 July 25th.James [of Gt.Horton ? bur.14.6.1634 ?] with Dorothy JUDSON. 1610 Feb.4th.Thomas with Dorothy BOWKER. 1611 May 12th.Samuel [of Gt.Horton ? bur.27.4.1633 ?] with Issabell ILLINGWORTH. ============================================= Sorry Kim,I'll have to send these in small batches & rest in between.

To Whoever While searching through LDS film numbers 828162 (for John Haigh born about 1826) I see that the records for Stainland Independent Church ( I think Methodist) show the Rev David Barraclough as Minister there from at least 1813 to 1839. Entered in register on 30 June 1827 is a list of his children Bap Born Name Parents Place Bap by 17961227 17961111 Barraclough Jemima David & Mary Bolton, Lancs Bap by her father David B 17980501 17980403 Barraclough Joseph David & Mary Birstall, Yorks Bap by Rev.

Current lawyers can be searched at http://www.solicitors-online.com/ There are some Barracloughs

Hi Kim Have I sent you details of the 1881 census for Ann Barraclough (nee Marsden) widow of Joseph????? I have just been perusing some info that I have received and it may relate to Ruth, daughter of Joseph and Ann, who is listed as single and living with her parents in all census from 1841 thro' to 1881. (Discrepancy in age from 1851 (4yrs) to 1861(12yrs). Did she marry late in life??? The info that I have been sent could point to this, the clue being Frank Barraclough her younger brother, in fact the youngest of Joseph and Ann's brood, being resident with her. I have yet to confirm the dates of death of Joseph and Ann. Tho' Ann was a widow on the 1871 census. The following info was emailed to me; as yet I have not been able to confirm the details. 1891 census - 126 Tennant St, Bowling - RG 12/3618, Folio 119, Page 37 Iredale Joe Head M 36yr Lamplighter b Huddersfield Iredale Ruth M 41yr b Horton Frank Barraclough Resident S 22yr Yarn Stocketer** b Pudsey ** I am not sure of this transcription. 1901 census RG 13 4146 Folio197 Page 29 Iredale Joe Head M 46yr Lamplighter b Huddersfield Iredale Ruth Wife M 51yr b Horton Barraclough Doris Niece 5yr b Keighley And this maybe another of the brood - Frederick who had married and left home by the 1881 census: 1881 Census RG11 4483/16/24 - Littlemoor Bottom Barraclough Fred Head M 28y b Bradford Coal Miner Barraclough Mary Wife M 24y b Pudsey Woollen Weaver Barraclough Elizabeth Daur 1yr b Pudsey George Hollins Border U 17yr b Bradford Coal Miner I know there are Littlemoor addresses in Pudsey, but I do not know about coal mining in that area. It's possible that George is the brother of Elizabeth!!!

Hi Kim, I have 23 records of marriages for Barraclough males at Bradford P.Ch.in the 1600's,but none of them married a Holdsworth bride. Significantly there are none between 1646 and 1664.Could that be the 'Cromwell' effect ? Would you like a copy of those 23 ? Cheers--------Derek 1.

Another interesting search tool (although I MAY have posted it before) is http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/script/name.asp#searchtabs and type in Barraclough. There are 38 with that surname who served in the Australian Armed Forces in World War II. Eight were born in England and one in New Zealand. You get a full date of birth, and if you click on their names once you have the list up you get details such as place of enlistment, where they were living at time of enlistment, next of kin etc. May be a few missing twigs in there for someone. Cheers Linda

Hi all, Don't know if you've been there yet, but the following link takes you to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission site for 100 Barracloughs ---------------------------------------------------- http://www.cwgc.org/cwgcinternet/results.aspx?surname=barraclough&war=0&yearfrom=1900&yearto=2000 --------------------------------------------------- Best wishes, John B.

Ooooops= knew I should have been more awake (well, it is only 6am here). That IS the Unassisted Index 1852-1899 Linda

Hi Everyone, Not sure if this has been posted before, but if you check the online index to assisted immigration to Victoria, Australia, there are 48 Barraclough entries on there - some may be Kim's, but none are mine. http://proarchives.imagineering.com.au/index_search.asp?searchid=4 I read that by December the Unassisted may be on there too. Worth a look if you have any disappearing off the face of the earth. Cheers Linda Victoria, Australia

Hi Anne, There could be a birth certificate for Fountain in the Dec.Quarter of 1860.I say 'could' be because compulsory registration of births [and deaths] was only from c.1875 onwards.The cert.[if it exists] just might give his father's name.His marriage cert.might also give his dad's name. My gt.gt.grandma was born Ann Terry,illegit. dau.of Hannah Terry,but her marriage cert. stated that her father was Joseph Nichol. I found out that Hannah had 3 illegit.children all fathered by Joseph,who probably worked for her father.They possibly meant to marry,but poor Joe died at the early age of 24.Hannah baptised their last child [Coley Ch.] after Joseph's burial [also Coley] with the name Sarah Nichol Terry.Hannah died in her 50's, unmarried [bur.Bethel Chapel Shelf] Cheers----------------Derek

Hi Derek Hope your back is on the mend. Before you were in hospital you kindly sent me some census info, and we pondered as to poor Fountain, who was born out of wedlock, (which is a milder term than was noted on the census). I had always thought that in 1861 he was 5 years old, but your interpretation put him at 5 mths old and from this -eureka!! I think that I have located not only references to his birth in 1860, but maybe also to his marriage in 1880. So once again thanks. I am also forwarding this to the Barraclough Listers as it maybe of interest to them: Fountain Barraclough was listed on the 1861 census for Littlemoor Lane, Pudsey, aged 5mths, the head of the household was Joseph Barraclough and wife Ann (formerly Marsden). Derek and I think that this child maybe the son of their eldest daughter Betty who was aged 20 at the time. Regards Anne

Hi I am probably giving info that you are already award of but here goes - I have been ordering my certs through www.yorkshirebmd.org.uk . It covers areas of Leeds, East Yorks, Bradford and Oldham. By clicking on the reference you can print off a form and send to the relevant Registration Office, addresses of which can also be found on this site. Regards Anne

I have just been searching the Qld Electoral Rolls from 1860-1879 and found the following Barraclough's. I thought they may of interest to other members of the list.

Hello to all From the fantastic responses I have had from Anne Wigglesworth and Kim Pasquill, I now know that I am not trying to research Sarah WOOD, wife of John BARRACLOUGH, and mother of Abraham BARRACLOUGH, born 4/4/1850 Bolton Road, Bradford. This birth certificate is superfluous to my searches now, so if it would be of use to any one, please let me know! Thanks again.
