Hi Derek, This is on a bit of a tangent, but the family who lived just 2 doors away at 175 Mill Lane, Bowling between 1871 and 1891 were my WILKINSON family :)) The great granddaughter of this same family, Nellie WILKINSON went on to marry Stanley Edmund BARRACLOUGH some time between 1942 and 1946. I wonder if my Stanley, who was the oldest son of Walter Henry BARRACLOUGH (Mayor of Bradford 1943-4, and chief librarian at Bradford library from 1925 to 1946) is in any way related to your BARRACLOUGH family??? :) Lyn in Australia (still trying to find Jennifer Margaret Barraclough, widow of my husband's cousin Christopher who died in Somerset New Year's day 1991.) PS Anyone out there want to claim Walter and his wife Mary WOODHEAD as their own? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kim Pasquill" <kmp789@net2000.com.au> To: <BARRACLOUGH-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, October 11, 2004 6:32 PM Subject: [BARRACLOUGH] Re: Arthur Barraclough,death at 106 > Dear Derek, > > Thank you so much for sending me the article on Arthur Barraclough.

Hi Lyn, How interesting that your Wilkson family lived 2 doors down from Arthur's family. They surely would have known each other. As for both Barraclough families being related in some way, nothing surprises me anymore where the Barraclough's are concerned :-) Lyn, given that you have a death date for Walter Henry Barraclough. Have you ever though of asking anyone on the list to have a look for a death notice in the Bradford newspapers. Given he was a Lord Mayor of Bradford and the librarian of Bradford Library ( Boy! I reckon I'd give my eye teeth to have that job) for so long, I would imagine there would be a good article on him. If not, ask away.
