Hi Kim, Next time I go to the Family Records Centre in London I'll have a look through Births 1917-1920 for you/Nicki, unless someone else offers to do it sooner, as it may be a couple of weeks before my next visit.

Don't forget to check all variants, if it was a Halifax Barraclough, it would most likely be spelt Barrowclough, but check all, please.

The first born was Stanley and he was to be the only boy. Both Stanley and Violet were put into orphanages at the age of about 2 and 5, and Stanley was adopted by a well-to-do family, so it was apparently said, as Grandma never saw him again.
