Hi Everyone: I have not been in touch for a very long time but still read everything that is posted and will one day be back to active genealogy. For the records, I am in Ontario, Canada and look forward to the results of the survey. I also came across the following information two days ago and want to share it with you in the hopes it may help someone. In a book entitled "Yorkshire Clockmakers" by Brian Loomes (1985, Littleborough), the following is recorded on pages 44 and 45: "Barraclough, John (Thorton/Bradford 1838) At Thornton, Bradford as clockmaker and hardware dealer in 1838. Painted dial longcase clock signed 'Barraclough, Thorton' recorded. May be from Haworth, see below. Another reported similarly signed. Barraclough, John I.
