Hi Anne, The John,who married Rhoda,was the younger brother of my gt.gt.grandad Joseph Barracloough. They were both sons of John B.and Susannah Radcliffe/Ratcliffe who mar.in 1811 at Bradford P.C. The other two brothers of Joseph & John were Thomas [the illegitimate father of a Levi B.] and Squire,who had a very large family,as did John and Rhoda. My Joseph also went to Leeds after the death of his wife Hannah [nee Slicer],leaving all the children of that marr.with his widowed mother,Susannah,including my gt.grandad William. In Leeds,Joseph re-married and fathered at least one son,but I haven't traced any of his descendants as yet. I suspect I have 'cousins by the dozen' out there,somewhere,that I know nothing of. Cheers--------Derek Barraclough 1

Derek When I first saw Joseph & Ann on the MI I was sure it must be mine, my sister in law even rushed back home to get a camera, meanwhile I noted the dates and realised that it was not. But there is a link. John and Rhoda's grandson, Jonas married Fanny Sowden, who was the daughter of Amos Sowden, brother of my gt grandfather Ezra. I have been scrutinising your email and wonder, did your John B (Susannah Radcliffe's spouse) have a brother named Jonas? Anne
