HI Everyone, And here is me thinking that Southowram, is a real long way from Wibsey ☺ well it does look it on my map ☺ but now knowing that Kath can see Barraclowclough Lane, from her house I can be assured it not that far away from the Wibsey area. This one is for you Jeff, you can put it onto your Will's transcript page. Will dated 25th June 1545 and proved 20th July Of Christofer Barocloughe of Hipperome (Halifax), gave his soull to God Almightie, trustinge of clene remission of my synnes throughe the merits of christs passion, and my bodie to be buried in the churche yerde at Halifax. To Umfraye my soone, my violette jackett, my graye jackett and lether dublett, in full contentacon of his childes parte. Residue of all my goodes my detts paid, I give and bequeth unto John, Isabell & Agnes, children. Ric Rookes of Ydill and James Wodhed, Edward Dobson. Proved before Sire Alex Emmote, curate, Halifax. You will all find it in the book " History of Brighouse, Rastrick & Hipperholme by J. Horsfall Tuner published 1893. Ok, anyone know the translation for the name Umfraye ? I'm still to work out who's children John, Isabell & Agnes are ? are they children of the men named after them ? Christopher must be our's are he hails from Hipperholme, but have now worked out yet which of our's he belongs to. Cheers Kim --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
