Whilst my relationship with the Barraclough name is slightly remote, I have found this particular name to be very interesting. Barraclough's have been in the Wibsey, Hipperholme area, pretty well since records began. Coincidentally this is the same region as my Sutcliffe ancestors lived.

This Barraclough page is my pilot page to publish ideas as to how I see the rest of the site developing over the course of time.

Over the years I have developed an extensive database of Barraclough individuals born before about 1800 and am including a copy in PDF format here. By using the database in conjunction with the family groups below it is possible to get the maximum available information. At the moment I have not included the sources, but they have all been verified by me personally from original documents, where possible. Of course I can give no guarantees of their accuracy, only that I believe them to be accurate.

I should point out that much of the information on this page has been made possible by Jeff's clients, who also wish to share the results with others.
Should any other likeminded person wish any research work carried out then that can also be added. Similarly I am prepared to publish scans of Wills, purchased etc.

I should point out that I do this freely as a gesture of goodwill and not because I consider myself under an obligation. Whilst I am prepared to publish the results of my research for the foreseeable future, I can give no guarantees that this will remain the situation.
