In Response To: Re: Radcliffe of Knockaloe ()

Knockaloe Moar was acquired by Thomas Radcliffe who was the Receiver of the Peel, i.e. one of the leading officers of the Earl of Derby in the Island. It is likely that he would have been of gentry status and belonging to a client family of the Stanleys of Lathom.
So far no one has identified which of trhe various Lancashire families he belonged to.
