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?

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

Rowson
I'm trying locate any details/information on my grandad William
Charles Rowson. He was born approx. 1913. He married Rose Gilder
on the 15th June 1936, and they had 1 daughter, my mum, Anne
Muriel. He served for a while in the R.A.M.C, but their marriage
didn't last. All I have to go on is their wedding certificate
and a photo of him. If anyone can help me I would be eternally
greatful.

Ruddock
I would be grateful for information about the Ruddock family who were sheep
farmers in Bransdale and Bilsdale for many centuries. John and Christiana
Ruddock and several of their children were buried at St Nicholas Church
at the top of Bransdale early in the 19th century. Surviving children left
the Dales and moved towards the towns at this time. The next traced John
Ruddock married Mary Parker at Ellerburn in 1813 and their eldest child,
William Ruddock, was born in 1814 in Bradford and became a doctor. He married
Jane Sherwood and they had 13 children. The sixth child was Harry Sherwood
Ruddock and he emigrated to New Zealand in 1863. He had two daughters,
Gladys and Madge; Madge had one son - Ruddock Mackay - and I am Ruddock
MacKay's daughter.
