Tracielaine   0 #5 Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) The home was just called Barncliffe. The only two brothers I know of were Alan and John. Is this of any help? I was there until late 80s and they are the only 2 brothers I recall. Edited April 1, 2019 by Tracielaine Added detail Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
