Hi I've been busy with a family gathering of descendants of my great grandmother, Mary Ann Barraclough. She married George Glover in Barton on Humber, Lincolnshire, England on 7 June 1860. Then in 1882, they sailed for Canada with 9 of their 10 children. Recently there were 170 of their descendants together in one place for a few hours and it was quite thrilling. Her parents were James Barraclough and Mary Ann Hollingsworth.Their marriage details are: Entry No. 270 St. Peter's Barton - James of Barton to Mary Ann HOLLINGSWORTH of Barton married 24 October, 1833. Wits: James SWATTED? + Ann FENICK? + Caroline ??? Listed below is the family of James and Mary Ann (nee HOLLINGSWORTH) BARRACLOUGH: 1076 James Henry Sailor 14 Sep 1834 StM 1140 Elizabeth Hollingsworth Sailor 18 Dec 1835 StM 1223 William Publican 20 Jun 1837 StM 1336 John Sailor 07 Jun 1839 StM 1395 Mary Ann Sailor 23 Jun 1841 StP 1457 Joseph Sailor 21 Feb 1842 StP 83 Hannah Mariner 08 May 1846 StM 164 Benjamin Waterman 21 Dec 1847 StM These are only some of their family. A cousin in Papua New Guinea has sent me over 200 names of the descendants of James Barraclough, plus his Will. It was a wonderful thing to meet through a Lincolnshire Look-up contact. We also met two of his descendants at the family get-together who came from siblings of our great grandmother. It was fun to tease the ones who want to pronounce it "barracluff" when our parents always used a pronunciation that rhymed with slow. If anyone is interested in further details of this line of Barracloughs, let me know. Jeannette Claridge Nelson, B.C., Canada
