Transcripts of most of the wills for the earlier generations of this family are on Brian Lawson's website, and these give a good idea of the places where they lived and their family connections.

Constance Radcliffe wrote [1979]:
Richard Radcliffe, second son of John Radcliffe and Jane Teare of Belfast,
married Margaret Quark, and died, aged about 40, in 1741. Three sons survived
him, the second of whom, also Richard (1735-1818), married Elizabeth Stevenson,
by whom he had nine children, the sixth of whom, William, (1775-1849) was Parish
Sumner for a long period. Three of the other sons, including the fifth child,
Richard, (1772-1849) were joiners by trade, and all of them lived on parts of
Ballacross. If any family can ever be said to enjoy inherited skill, this family
has been, and still is, endowed with a gift for working in wood. William
(1798-1878), joiner and millwright, according to the Census Returns, who married
Esther Killip (1801-1870), was the first to live at Cronk Glass (Green Hill) by
Bayr ny H'ayrey at St. Jude's, still in the possession of the family. To
distinguish him from the multitude of other William Radcliffes, he was known as
Billy Dick, a patronymic which has stayed with his descendants, so that his
great-grandson, who lives on the island, is known to some as Dickie Richie
Richard Billy Dick.

There are still a number of Radcliffe descendants of this family living in the IOM.
