Ted Barraclough and Leslie Barraclough please read below: Hi Ted, Welcome to the list. Your name and tree has preceded you. Cousin Derek Barraclough sent me a copy of your Barraclough family tree awhile ago. In the hope that I may find additional information for you. I'm not sure if Derek told you of another researcher who is also descended from your tree, by the name of Mark Winton who's address I will forward onto you off list. I have found additional information from sources in Yorkshire and will forward this new information on to you. Ted are you aware that there was 2 James and Betty Barraclough producing children during the same time period in Wibsey ? I have had the pleasure :-)) of sorting out which children belong to which family. Therefore it's possible that your Israel may descend from James Barraclough and Betty Kellett and not James and Betty Breakes. I will send you what documentation I have on both families, it's my assumption that Israel descends from James Barraclough and Betty Kellett. I'm no expert, and it's possible I could be wrong, therefore I will send you a copy of my findings and leave it to you to confirm one way or the other. Now Ted, I have the pleasure of tell you and Leslie Barraclough another list member, that there is a connection between your two tree's. They connect though the line of John Barraclough bp: 25th Dec 1792 at Bradford Parish Church, who married Sarah Holden 2nd June 1816 at Bradford Parish Church, he is the son of John Barraclough and Elizabeth Bywater. It is wonderful to finally meet you Ted, and I'm really pleased you have joined us on BARRACLOUGH-L I will be in touch soon.
