Hi Everyone: I know I am only adding to the confusion but I can't help but think there must be some connection between the 1881 census entry provided by Mary Mallison and the fact that on the 1881 census for Eccelsfield, Margaret Barraclough (born 1853, Wortley) is listed as "(Priestly)" and an 1851 Census entry for Coventry, Holy Trinity Coventry 400, Warkwickshire which lists: Priestly, John, head of the household, 50 yrs., brick maker, born Bradford, Yks.; Mary, wife, 52 yrs, born Gosford, Warwickshire John Barraclough, Grandson, 4 years, born Bradford, Yks. I also note that on Mary's 1881 entry there is a 5 year old granddaughter named Sarah Barraclough. I have a letter written in the 1980s by a second cousin that refers to a "poor little Sarah". The letter goes on to say that "great grandfather never mentioned her". The first reference to "Sarah" is in response to information that was provided to this second cousin by a researcher by the name of Pamela Palgrave and the letter is written to June Benn (nee Barraclough). To date, I have not been able to sort out this puzzel and it seems that Mary's entry just adds to the mystery. Any clues anyone? best wishes, Susan Eddy, Cobourg, Ontario, Canada
