I have been tracing my Barraclough geneology from Yorkshire, and know that the Barracloughs in Leeds moved south to Leeds from the Haworth, Yorkshire area after 1850.These were descendents of John, (there are many generations of Johns).Some of the Haworth Barracloughs were clockmakers, and produced clocks from the early 1700's until the late 1800's, when the family moved to Leeds.We believe they started importing clocks from Europe to sell at that point.If you check the vital statistics from Leeds, you may get some answers.Good luck!
