Hi Ian, There is another Topcliffe in Yorkshire which I have successfully missed off the "Where is it in Yorkshire" pages on the Genuki site (must fix this!). You can find the other Topcliffe near Morley - go to www.streetmap.co.uk and put in Topcliffe as the search. Best wishes, Colin Hinson In the village of Blunham in Bedfordshire U.K. Webmaster for the Genuki Yorkshire pages: http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/ Old and Rare Yorkshire Books on searchable CDroms: http://www.YorkshireCDbooks.com >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >On the 1911 Census I have found a place of birth for an ancestor as >Toplift in Yorkshire.
