I have the 1881 census for the Barraclough family but unfortunately the mother is not included but as there are three children by 1861 there is a good chance that the mother will also be present.

Thank you Londonbelle. That looks spot on, plus Thomas and is Betty Rushforth listed as Mother in Law ???

No, Betty is just listed as a Visitor but I do wonder if she is related to the family

This could be the marriage of john & Ruth

Marriages Sep 1847
BARNINGHAM Ruth Bradford Yk 23 141
BARRACLOUGH John Bradford 23 141

Thank you Ann. My next task is finding a marriage in FreeBMD for John and Ruth and then their respective births, but in the meantime I am thinking that as daughter Elizabeth is only 1 there could be further children, who could be old enough to have left home before 1881?

Thank you Londonbelle so perhaps Betty is not m-i-l. More grist for the addiction!

This may be the marriage

John Barraclough, 29 years, widower, overlooker, son of Andrew Barraclough, labourer & Ruth Barringham, 23 years, spinster, weaver, daughter of Thomas Barringham, labourer. He signed, she made a mark

Married at St Peter's, Bradford 15 Aug 1847. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

If above marriage is correct then here is the detail

Name: John Barraclough Widower occ Overlooker
Birth Year: abt 1818
Age: 29
Marriage or Bann Date: 15 Aug 1847
Parish: Bradford, St Peter (Bradford Cathedral)
Father's name: Andrew Barraclough occ Labourer
Spouse's Name: Ruth Barringham Spinster occ Weaver
Spouse's Father's Name: Thomas Barringham occ Labourer

Witnesses: Charles Holmsworth (looks like) and Joseph Smith

Note John was a Widower

Sorry - he was of Heaton (I think that's what it says) and she of Shipley. He was previously married to Grace Davy, 21 years, spinster, daughter of John Davy a woolcomber. Married 1 Aug parish of Calverley. Both living in Idle.

Will look for some kiddies

Thank you Kim and Londonbelle. I hope IGI will yield a Ruth Barringham with father Thomas with a christening at some place with a name like Grodland! I have never heard of it before so possibly a mistranscription?

John Barraclough baptised 20 Dec 1818 St Peter Bradford (the cathedral). Son of Andrew a clothier and Betty. Abode Eccleshill

Reckon Betty Rushforth may well be his mother who married twice.

Thanks for the 1851 Londonbelle. Gretland I know is near Halifax/Elland

Yes Kim the second marriage thingy was something I expected to check out.

Looks like Ruth's surname might be Barningham

Name: Ruth Barningham
Birth Date: abt 1824
Parish: Elland, St Mary
Baptism Date: 7 Nov 1824
Father's name: Thomas Barningham occ Labourer
Mother's name: Jane Barningham

Definately Barningham from the Image

Following could be siblings of Ruth
