Hi List and especially Derek, Have had a lovely few days away, and have come back to some rather interesting Bararcloughs Derek wrote: >Almondbury also had the birth of his son Jonathan who went to >Ballarat, who had his mother's name Butterworth (born 1month before wedding) >and kept it. >"Australian" Jonathan Butterworth (if there are decendants in Oz, >might like to note that they are really Barracloughs!) was married in >Bradford in 1844, to a Nanny Metcalfe, and he emigrated some short time >after that. This has been enough to prompt me to join another list. There is a new list in Victoria, Australia, called, from memory, AUS-VIC-GOLDFIELDS, covering the Ballarat area. My Barracloughs were in Ballarat from about 1855 to about 1872, so I really should join. I wonder if they met the Butterworths there? I shall take the opportunity to post a Butterworth query there, and see what comes back. Cheers Linda Barraclough Briagolong, Victoria, Australia Listowner: BARRACLOUGH-L e-mail: [email protected]
