Hi

I have quite a lot of information on the families but not on my particular line.  I am able to access census info.

Firstly, I was hoping that someone would be researching the Bargh line as I have a letter written to my gt gt grandmother from one of her neices.

I have made some contacts on GenesReunited, so I'll see what happens.

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.

Carl

Welcome to RootsChat Carl.

Whilst this thread is from 2005, Suziet was last online here in 2021 and hopefully still has the same email address and will receive notification of your post. I'm sure she will be pleased to hear from you.

Are you related to the Bargh family who used to farm at Claughton, near Lancaster?  They were our neighbours many years ago.

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.

Carl.
It's  over 30 years since we lived in Clsughton and even then we didn't know the Bargh family very well, I'm  afraid, so names escape me.  There was also a fleet of lorries/tankers belonging to them which were housed close to the M6 junction. They were labelled S. Bargh, I think.

I do remember that one of their cows jumped over our fence and galloped through our garden, narrowly missing the pram containing our baby daughter!  It was running away to escape being trapped in the metal frame which an animal is trapped in, so that the farmer can deliver injections and so on.  My small son was a great friend of the farmhands Ronnie and Johnnie!

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.
