Herewith is my descent... James Barraclough bap 7.12.1805 All Saints, Wakefield, Yorkshire. Moved and settled in Barton-- on-Humber, Lincolnshire where he was employed as a sailor on River Humber, publican and coal . dealer.He married Mary Ann Hollingsworth a Lincolnshire woman and had a family of 12 or 13 . children. He died 8.2.1879 at Barton and was buried there. Thomas Henry Barraclough born 14.7.1854 at Barton. Was a master mariner of sloops and keels on River Humber. Married Mary Elizabeth Gadie a Barton woman and had family of 12 children. He died 31.12.1910 at Barton and was buried there. John William Barraclough born 18.3.1876 at Barton. Was a master mariner of sloops and keels on River Humber. Married Emily Flower a Barton woman and had family of four children. He died on 27.10.1944 at Barton and was buried there. Gwladys Muriel Barraclough born 10.9.1905 at Barton. Was briefly confectionary shop proprietor before marrying Edward Victor Keal (from nearby village of South Ferriby) and had family of seven children. Died 7.12.1992 at Barton (cremated). Edward David Keal (Me!) born 22.4.1939 at Barton. Now living in Harrow, Middlesex. NB - I am still trying to locate the parents of James Barraclough above. >From census records for Barton-on-Humber it is fairly certain his father Joshua Barraclough (who was staying with James in Barton in 1841) was born outside the county of Lincolnshire - probably Yorkshire. He was almost certainly married to Elisabeth Horner on 25.6.1798 at Harwood, Yorks (James' first son was named James Horner Barraclough). Can anyone shed light on Joshua - he was born circa 1766?
