Since it's a new year, and it's been some time since I listed the Barraclough line I'm researching, I thought I would do that now, and suggest that others do the same. Each entry describes the son of the one above. Sheffield is used for Ecclesall Bierlow as well as for Sheffield. Samuel BARRACLOUGH m. (1772) Hannah BRITTAIN(S), Leeds Jeremiah (bap. 1 Jan 1785; d. 18 Aug. 1858, Leeds) m. (16 April 1816, Birstall) Ann RUSSOM (d. Apr 1836, Leeds) Edwin (bap. 15 June 1817, Leeds; d. bef. 1871, Sheffield) m. (1845, Sheffield) Sarah WATSON Ashall (bap. 29 Sep 1807, North Burton; d. bet. 1881 and 1891, Sheffield). Edwin (b. 10 Mar 1846, Sheffield) m. (Feb 1866, Sheffield) Eliza HEALD (b. 6 May 1848; d. Mar 1882, Sheffield). Edwin (b. 2 July 1870, Sheffield; d. 22 Feb 1908, Workington, Cumb.) m. (28 Sep 1891, Sheffield) Edith Mary WATTS (b. 28 July 1869, Sheffield), d. 29 June 1957, Whitehaven, Cumb.after living in the U.S. 1922-1956). (Edwin and Edith's sisters married into SMITH (later CADMAN-SMITH), PICKIN, DODDS, and MARSDEN families, all in the Sheffield area. I would be interested in corresponding with anyone with connections to these families. I'm also interested in anyone who can connect with my "mystery" Barracloughs--Anthony and Michael--who appear at ages 3 and 5 in a photograph my mother probably received in the 1920s. They are probably the sons of Geoffrey Barraclough, b. 1894, son of the last Edwin's brother George (b. c. 1866) m. Hilda TROWN), but I have no knowledge of this family). And, finally, Edith Watts Barraclough's mother was a Mary HORNER, b. c. 1848 and adopted by William (b. 9 Feb 1812, Carlton near Roystone) and Elizabeth WALKER (b. c. 1812, Sheffield). If anyone can identify Elizabeth or locate the Walkers before 1861, it may help me to find her birth parents. Many thanks, and Happy New Year.
