Radcliffe
I have traced my family back to Joseph Radcliffe,
b May 1819 m Mary Radcliffe (this is her maiden name) in Machester.
Joseph died 1889 and is buried at Sowerby Bridge Independent Cemetery. His
father was Squire Radciffe b 1783 m first wife Martha Hallarn, 2nd
Mary Brear 1803 in Halifax. Squire d 1836.
His father was John Radcliffe b 1744/45, m Mary
Buckley 1772 in Saddleworth. I believe John's father was also John.
I believe he was married twice. Might be Mary Platt and second
unknown. One of their sons was John Radcliffe born 1744/45 in Saddleworth
which I believe to be one of my ancestors. Can anyone help me go
further into this family tree?

Raine
My ancestor was Thomas Raine, born 1803, Yorkshire. He was arrested at Startforth and charged with sheep stealing in December 1831: tried at York Assizes March 17 1832: death sentence commuted to life in New South Wales. At the time of his departure from UK aboard Mary III, August 1832 his record states 'Wife with father Thomas Langstaff/Longstaff(e) at Galgate'. At the time of his arrival in NSW, January 1833 he claimed to be married with one son. His convict indent further states he was a butcher and could milk.
It may be that the child died aged 10 months in October 1832 – a child is buried at Barnard Castle – records indicate 'father transported'.
I would appreciate any info or tips on how to find the name of his wife and child, also his parents and any siblings.

Rachel Riby died age 23 in the birth, in late 1843 at Wykeham, of my great-grandmother; Rachel's husband was Robert Metcalf of Ebberston. I have not been able to find a record of her death – I assume it was 1843 but presumably she could have survived for a short while into 1844. Any clues would be appreciated.

I would dearly like to trace my great-grandfather William Robinson. He married in Auckland NZ in January 1867 to Ruth McCleary of Lurgan, County Down, Ireland. At this time his profession is given as blacksmith. When he died in 1923 he was said to have been in the country 57 years – which places his arrival at approx 1864. On the records of his second marriage in 1918 his parents names are given as Joseph and Ann, father's occupation iron founder. Place of birth was Barnsley, Yorkshire. In Ruth's Irish family tree he is named as Sam Robinson.
I have been unable to discover which of the 200+ William Robinsons recorded as having traveled to NZ he may be – is any one missing him from their English family tree? Any help gratefully received.

I very much want to find my half brother, Brian Robinson, born
in 1940, or perhaps 1941, near Huddersfield/Dewsbury area? Our
mother was Ruth Irene Robinson (nee Gooch). The marriage failed
and she moved to Norfolk where I was born November 19, 1944 at
Tan Office Farm, Saxthorpe. (My father's name was Arthur Haigh.)
I believe Brian, my half brother, remained in Yorkshire and was
raised by the Robinson family. However, our mother returned to
live in Yorkshire (Brighouse), with me, my father Arthur and
my younger sister, Patricia, around 1949. Our mother died there
in an auto accident when I was 17. I don't know if Brian was
ever made aware of our mother's death, or the circumstances,
and whether he even knows I exist. I am hoping the Brian Robinson
I am looking for is still in Yorkshire, however. I would appreciate

I am looking for the family tree of the Robinson's of Countersett
Hall, Wensleydale, Yorkshire circa 1600's through 1700's and beyond.I
am trying to find a link from possibly Richard Robinson, or a relation
of his (of Countersett Hall, a Quaker of the mid 1600's; his house
was a Friends meeting place) to a large Robinson family who were
of Liverpool but who originated in the 'dales.' A William Robinson,
a bookseller, was said to have been 'A dalesman who came down from
the Lakes to Liverpool' at the end of the 1700's. He was married
to Eleanor Fothergill in 1784 in Liverpool. (I also believe Eleanor
was descended from the large Fothergill family, whose origins were
also in Quakerism. I base this theory on reading somewhere the
fact 'Fothergill's' attended Friends meetings at the Robinson home
of Countersett Hall in the mid 1600's). William and Eleanor had
several children, including my next ancestor down, William Fothergill
Robinson, Broker /proprietor of Liverpool; him and his siblings
and several of their descendents, were bankers, barristers, academics
and such like of Liverpool (and beyond). Any information tying
up the Robinson's of Wensleydale (circa 1600's +) to the Robinson's
of Liverpool from 1802 onwards, would be most appreciated.

I am looking for information on the Sheffield family from the Huttons Ambo/Malton
area. William Sheffield (b. 1762) married Sophia Ward (b. 1762). They had several
children. My ancestor is their son, Thomas B Sheffield (b. 1797). He emigrated
to the US (first Kentucky, later New York) about 1819. His oldest brother was
William Sheffield (b. 1787). He stayed in Yorkshire and was a surgeon. He eventually
moved to Farmanby. Thomas had a sister, Sophia Sheffield (b. 1799), who also
emigrated to New York. She never married and became a naturalized US citizen
(fairly rare for a woman at that time). Her occupation on a US census is listed
as "lady". Another brother (? unsure of their relationship), Richard
H Sheffield (b. 1789), came to New York around 1819. Another sister, Elizabeth
Sheffield (b. 1791) married a William Robinson (b. 1786) and emigrated to New
York with their 6 children. Another sister, Sarah Sheffield (b. 1793) married
a Robert Sutton (b. 1790). They stayed in Yorkshire, but their children emigrated
to New York.
To the best of my knowledge, this family was associated
with the parish church of St. Michaels, Old Malton. Any info would
be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping to make a trip to Yorkshire
from the US next summer. I'd love to have a firm grasp of where
to start my research.
