Hi Lisa I presume your a Picton Hopkins. My mum was a Barraclough from invercargill and I'm trying to find if there's a family tree on the family

This is my Great Great Grand Uncle and his wife. My paternal Grandmother was his great neice. Barraclough is also associated with clock making back in the UK. Fascinating family history
