Dear Ted Keal & Jeannette Claridge, I checked the Gen Forum site today and notice another descendent of James Barraclough and Mary Ann Hollingsworth is also researching your line. "Looking for information on Joshua Barraclough who was born about 1780 at Pontefract or Wakefield England. He married Elizabeth Horner(?) and had two sons, James (born about 1805 - died February 8, 1879) and Joshua (born about 1780). They used to bring their river craft down the Yorkshire Ouse and Humber, trading, to Barton-on-Humber. James married Mary Ann Hollingsworth (born September 28, 1815 - died September 18, 1879). They had 13 children. If anyone has any info on these people, or further back, I would love to hear from you. " The ladies name is Lynn Staff and can be contacted on [email protected] Could you both please contact Lynn and tell her of your connection, also if you would like to invite her to join our Barraclough group please do so, and ask her to contact me and tell me of her connection to your Barraclough Lincolnshire Dynasty. -- Best Wishes Kim Pasquill Victoria-AUST Email: [email protected] Barraclough Surname Study: http://users.net2000.com.au/~football/index.html ICQ Number: 30110913 Researching: Worldwide - BARRACLOUGH and variant's WRY - TAYLOR,BATEMAN,POLLARD
