Bradford Census 1861,Buttershaw/Wibsey district of North Bierley. All 3 entries at Buttershaw Lane Top, 1)[All surnamed BREACLIFFE ; All born in N.Bierley.] Rufus Wilkinson B.head,marr.aged 24, Forgeman. Rhoda W.B.wife,aged 23,Worsted steam weaver. Samuel W.B.son,aged 4,Scholar. Isiah W.B.son,aged 11 months.
