Thomas Radcliffe married [1] Margaret Skinner 2 May 1772 in the presence of Wm Radcliffe Parish clerk, and John Radcliffe, Sumner, and, as a widower [2] Margaret Radcliffe als Brew, a widow, on 1 Feb.1787, in the presence of Wm Radcliffe Parish clerk and Thomas Brew. He had one son Thomas bapt 14 Feb.1773 from the 1st marriage, and 1 son John bapt 30 Sept.1789 from the second marriage.
This younger son John is recorded as being the father of the Rev.William Thomas Radcliffe.

I too have seen it written that Thomas (1745-1807) was of the Radcliffe Y Vayr Andreas line. That family did indeed have a son Thomas b.1745, but I have not as yet seen any proof that he was the Thomas who had the above 2 marriages, nor that he died in 1807.

The M.I. of the Thomas who died in 1807 reads "Erected by Thomas Radcliffe in memory of his father Thomas Radcliffe, joiner, who departed this life September 17th, 1807, aged 71 years." [Andreas Old Yard]. So born c.1736 - not 1745. His Andreas burial was on Sept.18th 1807, and his will which gives the same date of death mentions wife Margaret, Thomas his eldest son, and John his younger son. So these three records all coincide, and I think it is very likely that this Thomas [Rev.W.T.R.'s grandfather] was bapt.Andreas 2 Feb.1736/37, the son of Philip Radcliffe [bur.1762] and Joney Teare [bur.1778], who had only two sons, Thomas, and John bapt. Andreas 28 Jan.1732/33.
