Hello Barraclough Researchers My GG Grandfather is a Edwin Barraclough Hanson, born Nov. 20, 1856, Little Horton Lane, Horton, W.Yorkshire. His mother was Celina (sometimes found as Selina) Barraclough who was married to a Joseph Hanson. The Barraclough/Hanson trail of my family history is one of the most interesting. The Barraclough name in this almost unknown in this area. However, as a mid 19th C. census shows, both names were very common in the Bradford area. The 1850's Census shows that in the streets adjacent to Little Horton Lane, there were 14 Barraclough households and 9 of Hanson's. Almost all of the occupations listed are related to the woolen mills such as: Worsted Weaver, Warp Dresser, Worsted Handloom Weaver, and Mechanic Wool Comber. Mirfield just south of Bradford, is the location of the Bankfield Mills, were the Chairman is listed as a Richard Barraclough. It is an interesting connection to the professions of the past. The only information for the Barraclough side of my family is the Marriage of Joseph Hanson and Selina Barraclough, Bradford Yorkshire, December 1854 (no church mentioned). Although an search of the LDS sight turned up a Selina Barraclough born 1933 in Horton - something I will have to follow up. Tim Hanson
