Yorkshire (North Riding) / Re: Anyone know where Rockcliff or Rockliffe is?
« on: Saturday 12 October 19 10:22 BST (UK) »
I came across this old string of posts whilst Googling for Rocliffe, Yorks in the course of my genealogical research. This was the spelling in an 1891 census return for the birthplace of one of the people listed. However, in the 1911 census return the same person was said to have been born in Rawcliffe, Goole, not too far from where the family was actually living in 1911. I guess that this may well resolve the earlier riddle.
