Jane HIRST and Joseph BARRACLOUGH
were married on 28 Feb 1859 in St. John's Church, Denby, Yorkshire.
At the time of the marriage Joseph was recorded as as widower. They lived in
Upper Denby, Yorkshire in 1861. Joseph and Jane (transcribed as
JAN) lived with George Henry and Annie. Joseph's eldest son Joe was staying with
his grandparents James and Ann Barraclough and his eldest daughter was staying
with her other grandmother Elizabeth Beaumont (nee Hendry). They lived in Upper
Denby, Yorkshire in 1871. The family was transcribed as BARROWCLOUGH.
Joseph and Jane had George Henry, Annie, Elizabeth and James at home. They lived
in Upper Denby, Yorkshire in 1881. Joseph and Jane had his eldest
son,Joe Barraclough and their children George, Annie. Elizabeth, James, John
and Herbert at home. Joseph BARRACLOUGH (son of James
BARRACLOUGH and Ann TURTON) was born on 7 Aug 1829 in Denby, Yorkshire.
He was christened on 11 Oct 1829 in St. John's Church, Denby, Yorkshire.
Between 1861 and 1889 he was a Blacksmith in Upper Denby, Yorkshire.
Joseph was the last of the Blacksmiths in Denby. He was given the contract
for the Denby Dale Pie dish in 1887. The Pie was to be baked in a
dish 8 feet in diameter and 2 feet deep. Joseph Barraclough sublet the contract
to W. C. Holmes of Huddersfield. The dish was made of sheet and angle iron riveted
together and weighed fifteen hundred weight. The Pie was made in an oven and
close by it was the boiler supplied by Joseph Barraclough. Queen Victoria had
been on the throne for 50 years. She was the longest reigning monarch and was
much revered by her people. She reigned over Britain's "golden age";
the time of great change and prosperity and here was another chance to celebrate.
It was the middle of summer. However, a large amount of the meat to be used had
been exhibited in the village butcher's shop. This was then cut up and cooked
in a boiler in batches before being transferred to the pie dish and left to go
cold. Freshly cooked hot meat and gravy were then added and uncooked game birds
were placed in layers around the inside edge of the dish. To fill the dish 42
tons of potatoes were added under the crust. At midnight on Thursday 25th August
the pie entered the oven and was cooked until the Friday at 10am. On Saturday
27th August 1887 many thousands of people swarmed into the Denby Dale intent
on having a good time. The pie was paraded around from 11.30am until 3.30pm when
Mr H.J. Brierley sliced into the crust. A nauseating stench filled the air. The
pie was interred in quicklime in Toby Wood on Sunday 28th August 1887.
The following weekend, on 3rd September, the ladies of the village cooked 1 heifer,
2 calves, 2 sheep and 96 stones of potatoes. The “Resurrection Pie”
was a resounding success. He was a supporter of The Rev. Job Johnson, the vicar
of Denby Church, and donated 5s when the vicar retired in 1887.
He died about 1889 in Denby, Yorkshire. After his death his buildings
and lands were sold to his son-in-law, Harry Heath. He was buried on 14 Nov
1889 in St. John's Church, Denby, Yorkshire.
