Hi Linda, It appears from Jean's info she is one of my lot, Joseph Barraclough and Harriet Wright were ancestors of cousin Derek Barraclough in Yorkshire. I have just realised from Derek's notes that Jean has also corresponded with him as well. So I will contact Jean right away. Thanks for passing Jean's info onto the group, and look forward to her joining us all. Kim Linda Barraclough wrote: > Hi List, > > I have just received this from jean, who is not (yet) on the list.
