Among the many treasured "family records" which I possess, is a list prepared in 1886 by Canon Whitely for Sir David Radcliffe, mayor of Liverpool, born 8 Jan 1834 at Netherton (Huddersfield),son of Amos Radcliffe/Olive Jepson. David employed Canon Whitley to search the records of Almondbury Parish and to identify his ancestors. That list is 9 hand written pages in length and continues to help me identify my family. Another treasured, valuable record, is an article in the Huddersfield Examiner, Saturday, May 15, 1886, which tells about Sir David and his parents and grandparents, Charles Radcliffe/Elizabeth Mallinson, and his six brothers and sisters. During the 1850's four of these, brothers Charles, Amos & Thomas and sister Hannah Clissold went to Australia; Brother Benjamin and sister Fanny Beaumont went to Wisconsin and four stayed, including David and brother John of Netherton and sisters Elizabeth Peace and Mary Hawkyard of the Huddersfield area. Each person mentioned above and each of their spouses and many of their ancestors and many, many of their decendants, are the subjects of 12 growing "books" which may be reprinted from their 1996 version if we ever catch up with the new information which John Radcliffe of Meltham, Hudd, Yorks., keeps finding - I do a little, too. Now you folks are really helping as well. -----Many of these folks were involved in Liverpool. most of them for only about 5-8 years, during the 1850's, except for Sir David who generated his own family of note. David's oldest son, Sir Frederick Morton Radcliffe, of Liverool Anglican Cathedral and newspaper note, was most recognized of that family which is scattered over 3, or more, continents as well. This will be forwarded to LANCSGEN-L. Best Wishes to all. Special thanks to "Coach Tana" who has been of great generous help to me. Jim
