Hello Suzanne,

I think you are asking about William Alfred the illegitimate son of Elizabeth Radcliffe who was bapt 4 Oct.1868 in Andreas.

1871 census Andreas, Ballaslig:
William RADCLIFFE 67 Head Farmer of 10 Acres Andreas
Jane RADCLIFFE 69 Wife Farmer's Wife Andreas
Elizabeth RADCLIFFE 28 Daughter Farmer's Daughter Andreas
William RADCLIFFE 2 Grand-son Andreas

Elizabeth Radcliffe bapt 25 April 1842 Andreas married Robert CHRISTIAN 11 July 1874 Andreas.
1891 census, Bride, district 3, schedule 19, Kay Cottage:
Robert Christian, head, married, 43, farmer, Bride
Elizabeth, wife, married, 49, Andreas
William A RADCLIFFE 22 Step-son Mason Andreas

Elizabeth's parents were William Radcliffe 1802-1892 Andreas married 12 Oct 1833 Jane KANEEN, and William was the 2nd son of John RADCLIFFE 1773-1850 & Jane COWLEY 1778-1871, of Ballacurry, Andreas.

Dr RC Shaw wrote about this family: "“John Radcliffe and his wife Eleanor, who purchased land in Ballachurry, had several younger children born at the Mullen Beg and celebrated in the Wesleyan Ministry in later life. The Rev. William Radcliffe, born 1775, was for thirty-five years an itinerant minister. He died in 1835 and particulars of his life and work are given in Rosser's History of Wesleyan Methodism in the Isle of Man, 1849. Another brother, Thomas, born 1777, was for forty-one years a local preacher and father of John the saddler, of Peel Street. Ramsey.”
Constance Radcliffe wrote “Their eldest son John, born in 1773, was for fifty-six years a member of the Methodist Communion and for thirty years officiated as a class-leader and local preacher and was secretary of the Andreas Benevolent Society from 1822 to 1828. He was the master mason at the building of the present church at Andreas in which he was assisted by his son John. He married Jane Cowley, of Kirk Michael, and they had nine children. 'Johnny Sundher' died in 1850 and his wife. Jane, in 1871, aged 93. Their eldest son, John, also a mason, of Ballachurry, died in 1879 and was the last of the Radcliffes to live on this holding. His brother Thomas, shoemaker, of the Pinfold, had amongst other issue, Thomas Radcliffe, shoemaker, of Sulby, and the Rev. Benjamin Radcliffe, Rector of Hotham, in East Yorkshire. Another brother of John the mason was Robert Radcliffe, of Ballayockey, who married his kinswoman, Jane, daughter of Thomas Radcliffe, of Ballacleator (Tommy Belfast), to whom Hall Caine refers in the "Little Manx Nation".
