In Response To: Re: Rev W T Radcliffe ()

Ann Radcliffe als Kinread died "about the 29th Day of Octbr last" [1784] and Thomas died 12 March 1806, if that is any help to you? Perhaps this is the correct Thomas R. son of John Radcliffe y Vayr (1718-1786). Children named in Ann & Thomas's wills were Elizabeth (marr. Wm Cleater), Jane (exec. 1806, marr. Mark Gawne), William, Thomas, John.
Thomas left "his share of the L---e which he holds from Thomas Lace" to son John and daughter Jane.
[Looks like Leure? in one sentence; Leage? in the next.]

John Radcliffe [y Vayr’s] 1786 will mentions only his sons Charles and John and “all my children” – no particular mention of Thomas. This was one reason I had doubts about this Thomas being the one with the two marriages and those particular two sons, one being the father of Rev.W.T.R. - I couldn't see what the assumption was based on, unless he and one of the wives are mentioned in another document.

Can you tell me what your connection is to one of these Radcliffe families?
