Hi Jeff and Listers, Back in the 1980s,soon after I started to try to unravel my 2 Barraclough lines,I got to grips with June Benn's box of research material at the WY Archives,Bradford. I wrote to her to see if she could help me with problem Abraham & Francis ancestors.She helped as far as she was able,but said that whoever finally solved the Abraham/Francis enigma of the 17th-18th centuries,would be a genius.Which rules me out straight away ! Cheers---------Derek 1
