I believe I have this Radcliffe mess all sorted out but now need to figure out which Wm Radcliffe I need to proceed on. I have one very close in birth date but was wondering if anyone knows if an old Arbory Parish marriage record could be found online.... then hopefully providing me with his parents names listed on it.
I ended up with a methodist family and came up with 11 kids. Not the 13 I thought might be... but close!!
Below is what I have now:
