Hi Kim, I wondered if you have seen the Vital Record I ndex for the British Isles yet at the LDS.I purchased it and have been looking at it and have found a S arah Barraclough born in 1816 fits in with mine is she or isnt she . Anyway I will give you what Ifound there are quite a few on it so its worth haveing a look at., if anybody wants anything checked I will have a look for them. Samuel Barraclough Birth D ate 14-5-1809 Mary""""""""""""""""""""""""""4-8-1811 John""""""""""""""""""""""""""14-7-1819 Anna"""""""""""""""""""""""""2-4-1823 Ellen'""""""""""""""""""""""17-10-1807 Sorry thats out of sequence Sarah"""""""""""""""""""""""30-6-1816 They are all birth dates at Halifax, West Yorkshire. R ecorded in Dr W illiams L ibrary for E ngland and Wales. I went into this and they are non conformists I t said the father was William and mother was S arah and the mothers father was a John Hitchen. I looked this up on the IGI and sure enough there was William Barraclough married S arah Hitchen on [email protected] Sq Chapel H alifax. The film number is 816015.I still have to go through the marriage s on itwhen I find time. I`m still looking for Gloria`s J oseph and some of the st caths are unreadable, so I went back to the 1881 censusabout all I could come up withthat seemed to fit in was a J oseph born at Wakefield wife E lizabeth born at North BIERLEYand son J ames born there 11 yrs old I`m sorry I didn`t take there ages as it was my day on duty and I was interupted they were in there 30`s I think if you think its any good I`ll have another look. Thats all for now. M ary Mallison, QLD, Australia. PS the Vital R ecords run from 1538---1888.
