It is an medieval English term meaning dweller by a hill or burial mound.  It is probably taken from the
Anglo Saxon word 'beorg' meaning mound or hillock.  Another theory is that it came from the Yorkshire parish of Barugh.

The haulage firm is S J Bargh.  Founded in 1935 by Samuel James Bargh to transport milk (I'm a second cousin three times removed).

Samuel died in 1961 and the company went from strength to strength.

Hi

Quite possibly.

A lot of my ancestors came from Lancaster.  I also had family from Derbyshire and Yorkshire.

If you can give me some first names I can let you know if there is a link.

If it was Norval (Claughton Hall Farm) then yes - I'm a 3rd cousin twice removed.

Hi

I've done a lot of research into the Bargh family - I am one!  I'm also a professional genealogist.

If there's anything I can help with just shout.

Hi

I'm a descendent of Samuel James Bargh (of S J Bargh hauliers).  I am a second cousin three times removed.

I am a 1st cousin three times removed of George Bargh the Liverpool cowkeeper.

I'm actually a professional genealogist by trade and have done quite a bit of research into my ancestors.

It can be quite addictive - especially when your job is also your hobby!
