Find Ancestors

Sorry, not finding anything. Have looked at US census for both Barraclough and Edwards and nothing obvious.

If anyone can search and see search results I'm happy to look at transcription.

One thought - what if Ann married in the US and then came back to England. Wouldn't know where to start looking.

This site - http://www.familylink.com - offers a 3 day free trial (one of those where you have to give your card details and then remember to cancel before the three days is up) if you want to try a search on there.

that's what I meant :-) I don't have paid access for Ancestry records but I can't see anyone who looks likely ... one problem is that in 1930 it only shows place of birth for head of household ... since the social security number was issued in New Jersey maybe look there too

Hi chrissiex,
well it is right date of birth,would it be any help if we found her on any of the census records?

what do we all think about the possibility of the person whose death record Marie Celeste posted ?

Social Security Death Index about Ann Edwards
Name: Ann Edwards
SSN: 149-28-2454
Last Residence: Pennsylvania
Born: 24 Feb 1884
Died: Jan 1966
State (Year) SSN issued: New Jersey (1953-1954)

just as easily a coincidence ...

in 1920 there are 30 people named ann* in Philadelphia county who were born in England in 1884 ... strangely not one of them is plain Ann !

glad I got something right!!!! :-)

Hi Ann, yes you have the correct Lydia (nee barraclough) I have both Lydia and Harlands death certificates. I know that one of their daughters called Ann married a William Stephenson and they had a daughter called Karen. Ann died in 1972, no idea if they had any more children or what happened to the daughter called Karen.
Another daughter called Elizabeth married a Joe Biscottie in 1952 They had no children and they have both died.
The remaining children Ethel b 1914 in england, Margaret born 1814 England, Amy born 1929,Philadelphia, Joe born 1933,Philadelphia Bill born 1935,Philadelphia I have no idea what happened to them

Hi Chrissiex and Marie celeste, Have just got online today so will be reading your posts and "digesting them", so much to take in. There was another sister of Ann and Mary Ellens who went to the usa. She was married and called Lydia Slater ( nee Barraclough)Lydia and her husband and children went in 1924.

I tried searching the social security death index for Ann born on 24 february 1884 ... there are three

Ann Edwards 1966 no residence showing (once resided New Jersey)
Ann Evans 1976 Massachusetts
Ann Magnus 1980 Georgia


Marie Celeste feel like a little digging ? :-)

Here's that 1907 passenger record for Ann:


Philadelphia Passenger Lists, 1800-1945
about Ann Barraclough
Name: Ann Barraclough
Arrival Date: 7 Jul 1907
Age: 23 Years
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1884
Gender: Female
Ethnic Background: Irish (must be error, says born Morley)
Port of Departure: Liverpool, England
Ship Name: Merion
Port of Arrival: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Friend's Name: Mary Barraclough
Last Residence: England
Birthplace: Morley, England
Microfilm Roll Number: T840_58

Gives last residence as Morley. Relative is father John Barraclough of 9 Jackson Lane, Morley, Yorks. She had paid her own passage and had $13.

She was going to visit her sister, Mary Barraclough of 3513 Beaumont Street, Philadelphia, who met her.

Ann was 5'3" had a fresh complexion, dark hair and brown eyes. Her physical and mental health was stated as good and she wasn't crippled or deformed.

there are not very many Hinchcliffes in Pennsylvania today

http://www.whitepages.com/search/FindPerson?firstname_begins_with=1&firstname=&name=hinchcliffe&where=pennsylvania

and one of them is named Harry ... I would write letters myself


in the 1910 US census there are a dozen Barracloughs in Philadelphia born in England, is it possible that the sisters went out to family, cousins or the like ?

one in the 1910 census who is easily identifiable in England is this one in 1851

Name: Horatio Barraclough
Age: 1
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1850
Relation: Son
Father's Name: Isaac Barraclough
Mother's Name: Sarah Barraclough
Gender: M (Male)
Where born: North Bierley, Yorkshire, England
Civil parish: North Bierley

any relation ?


there are only 4 Barracloughs in Philadelphia today, could also be worth a try

http://www.whitepages.com/search/FindPerson?firstname_begins_with=1&firstname=&name=barraclough&where=philadelphia+pa

I meant to say Beverly ... I don't know where anyone would find information on marriages but since you have Harry in the censuses and I've given you Harry Hinchcliffe's parents' info I don't think a marriage or birth would provide much more for that one

I have a similar problem to yours with Ann, two sisters of a grandparent who emigrated to the US, I don't know whether they married first or not, their names are not Smith but still too common to be sure, I know what state they lived in around 1930, but I have no idea how to find them

what are you actually looking for, is it descendants ?

have you tried googling for obituaries ?

oh bad luck ... someone with the name Harry Hinchcliffe is heavy into gaming on line or something ...

oh I see you already had the 1880 (and 1920) census and Harry's parents' details so that was not my time well spent

http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/PAPHILAD/2006-08/1155021407

not your fault Beverly :-)

seems it's mine!!

to Ann of Green Gables and Chrissiex, Thank yo both for taking the trouble to help with my search, I seem to have caused you some sort of confusion, SORRY

I have deleted my postings - could I say I had the posting opened while I was searching and did not see the other info

thanks for all the above info,taking a while for me to digest same, any chance of finding any marriages for any of them?

on a free search of the 1900 census this seems to be him ?

I don't see him in 1910 ... the one in Wisconsin is not him, he is also in the 1920 census ...

this looks like Ann going to the US ( I do not have access to details, the record could show where she was going )

BARRACLOUGH Ann 1884 F 1907 Liverpool USA Philadelphia

I don't see a record that is clearly identifiable as Mary Ellen


Beverley have you looked in the 1900 US census for Harry?

possibly he would be in the 1880 if ages were rounded ... no 1890 census available unfortunately

This is the correct family. How do I find out who Harrys parents were and when he married Mary Ellen?
