Hi Everyone: I have a photocopy of what I believe is a history of the Barraclough name done by Prof. Geoffrey Barraclough. It is 7 and 1/4 typed pages long and begins with "Origin Barraclough is the most usual spelling of a name which has several variant forms..." The next heading is "Early History" which includes 1315, 1316 and the following heading is "1379-1545". Unfortunately, the bottom line of several of my pages seems to have been cut off and I am wondering if anyone has a copy of this history, if you could provide me with the missing words. Page 4, under the heading "Halifax Parish" my last line reads: "However other wills show quite clearly that many men combined the activities of clothier and farmer, whilst generations of Barracloughs in Halifax itself....?" Page 5, my last line reads: "The outcome must have been in his favour for shortly afterwards he succeeded Peter Sunderland as one of the High Constables of Agbrigg Wapentake and...?" Page 6, which is headed "The Protestation of 1641", my last line reads: "If we follow the fortunes of just one of his sons it becomes clear that huge families were the rule rather...?" Page 7, under the heading "The Nineteenth Century", my last line reads: "In 1866 the number had risen to twelve, Similarly in Bradford the number rose from four to twelve and ironically there was a Zerubbabel Barraclough in both cities. Even as late as 1866 both Barraclough...?" My photocopy ends with the paragraph: "Now, of course, in the West Riding alone there are hundreds of Barraclough families and the total number throughout the English-speaking parts of the world must run into thousands. it is ironic to think that 600 years ago at the time of the Poll Tax one family only was recorded". Any help with respect to the missing lines of text or information on the history or Geoffrey Barraclough would be greatly appreciated. With best wishes, Susan Eddy, Cobourg, Ontario, Canada
