She was a direct descendant of James >Barraclough (bap7.12.1805 at All Saints, Wakefield) who settled in Barton >upon Humber, North Lincolnshire. He had several occupations but was mainly a >sailor working on sloops on the River Humber. He started what I like to >think of as the Barton upon Humber Barraclough Dynasty. His son Thomas >Henry Barraclough was born 14.7.1854 at Barton and was clearly a successful >"Master Mariner" with his own line of sloops trading along the east coast >of England and in the Humber Estuary. His son was my grandfather John >William Barraclough (born 18.3.1876 at Barton). The shipping business did >not come down to him although he was also a Master Mariner. His daughter >(my mother) was Gwladys Murial Barraclough (born 10.9.1905). > >I have considerable information on this branch and will be happy to take >enquiries from the group. > >James (1805) was the son of Joshua Barrowclough who I believe was baptised >on 10.11.1765 at Wibsey nr Bradford. I have made guestimates of earlier >generations from IGI records but would welcome some firm evidence. > >Since joining the group I have received the 3rd & 4th list of MIs re Wibsey >but would appreciate copies of Kim's first two lists if possible please. >They may help me to find the lost connection..... > >Incidentally Kim, my uncle Ronald Barraclough emigrated to Australia circa >1948 and to my knowledge has not been heard of since. He was also from >Barton-upon-Humber and as a long shot >- has anyone any knowledge of him (or his descendants if any) ? > >Thanks for starting the group. > >Ted Keal > >
