Hello listers :) My husband's cousin's death certificate finally arrived a while back and I was wondering if anyone recognised him or his wife. Christopher Edmond Barraclough born 23 Dec 1946 in Bradford. Died 1 Jan 1991 (sad way to remember New Years Day, isn't it.) in Bridgwater, Somerset. Informant was his wife, which we didn't know about, Jennifer Margaret Barraclough. Thanks to Denise, I already knew that he was buried with his parents and grandparents in a family plot at North Bierley cemetery, Buttershaw. But I still can't find any present day rellies. I'd love to be able plant myself by that graveside and pounce on anyone who visits, but travelling from Australia is a bit too far and I don't think the Cemetery people would approve of my camping out there either. <g> I have also found out that Christopher's grandfather, Walter Barraclough was an Alderman, and later Mayor of Bradford in 1943. He was born 1880/1881, possibly in the Manningham area of the city. He was Chief Librarian in 1925 and retired in 1946. His death was apparently reported in an article dated 11th March 1950, although I haven't accessed this yet. I am told that he left a widow, two sons - Stanley Edmund (Christopher's father) and Ronald, and a married daughter whose name was given as Mrs. Lightowler. He had an interest in local history, and the library holds copies of several articles which he had published in the Bradford Antiquary journal between 1912 and 1936. So. Do these names ring any bells for anyone? We are desperately trying to find family in the UK. kind regards, Lyn in Australia. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
