Especially since Jeanette has already put me in the frame!! I live near London but was born in Barton-on-Humber, Lincolnshire and I am descended (like so many others) from James Barraclough who was born in Wakefield in 1805 and settled in Barton, married a local girl and started the Barraclough Dynesty in the town. The very large families of his descendants ensured that there are thousands of us all over the globe. We are all searching for James' father Joshua who we know married Elisabeth Horner at Harewood, Yorkshire on 25 June 1798. So far we haven't located his birth and any help from the group would be very very welcome. James started a shipping line on the River Humber (sloops and keels). The men were nearly all master mariners for several generations (including my own grandfather). Regards Ted Keal > >
