ANCESTORS OF RICHARD RATCLIFF OF LANCASHIRE, ENGLAND
AND TALBOT COUNTY, MARYLAND
Addendum to Clarence Ratcliff's genealogy by Donald Ratcliff
Dr. A. Wayne Ratcliff, M.D. (50 N. Liberty Street #1, Delaware, OH 43015) has extended the Ratcliff line
backwards to the earliest known ancestor, Ivo de Tailbois. He spent eleven years, made two trips to England, and
hired a professional genealogiest to secure this information. Most of this information is taken from The Book of
the Ratcliffs, while generations 17-21 were taken from wills located at the courthouse in Preston, Lancashire.
