To the list, greetings, and esp. Linda, Kim, and "Ballarat". Thanks for the info and help. I made a mistake in sending the details of Joseph Barrowclough christened Jan 1804 (probably to Joseph and Charlotte Holdsworth) about whom my wife knew. The above Joseph was not the father of Jonathan who emigrated to Australia as Jonathan Butterworth. The correct details should have been as follows: Joseph Barrowclough born (chr unknown as yet) in Holmfirth (census declaration), 08FEB1804, as written in family bible. There are of course many Josephs, some of which the IGI mis-spells. If others can link into him he was: married to Mary Butterworth (born 16FEB1805) in MAR1823; had JONATHAN Butterworth 26FEB1823, before they wed (kept Butterworth name); JOHN 1824,who died 1825; JAMES 07Jan1826, who nearly emigrated but died 1866 in Bradford; HANNAH 28Dec1828; WILLIAM 18Apr1830; DAVID o9Aug1833; JOSEPH who died; MARY 1837 and a JOSHUA. The details of Jonathan (really a Barraclough) were correct including Central Library Camp Street, Ballarat, which has filed away some details. He emigrated (when and how?) but wrote home to Bradford, where he had married Nanny Metcalf 1844. There were many Barracloughs in Bradford, but the census showed that his father and most siblings (except James) were still in or near Holmfirth. Jonathan went out to Mountain Creek, Moonambel, and Ballarat with one or two of his children, produced another ten or so, but saw only three grow up. Did he marry again? Thanks to Jeanne Chippett, and yes I would appreciate extra details if there are any. I can help to look up details for others, but the IGI is unreliable and Almonbury registers almost illegible, for my wife will be visiting Bradford, Huddersfield, and probably York and Wakefield to follow up info. Does anyone know how to alter the one wrong detail in genforum's barraclough page (an important detail!) without appearing too much of a pratt?...with apologies to [email protected] if they have a newsgroup there.
