James at Bradshaw Chapel and Belmont Lives with: In 1841, James (60) & Sarah (58) were neighbours of son Henry & Sarah at Raodfield Nook, Rossendale
in 1861, James (82) was living with his son Henty Named After: Names after grandmother, Sarah Lord (and mother Sarah Ingham) Other: Both James Cunliffe died in 1858 
One in Little Bolton (aged 74) and the other Sharples (aged 80) 1811 - 1886 Helen (Ellen) Cunliffe 75 75 Ellen's mother was Ann Cunlive (probably Cunliffe).  She was probably the illegitimate daughter of Ann Cunliffe so may not be the daughter of Ann Gibson and James.

Another possiblilty is that Ellen (baptised Mary) is the daughter of John Cunliffe and Elizabeth Bromley who married in 1795 (see Landmantracy tree).

Named "Ellen Cunlive" on marriage.  A family story handed down is "Ellen Conliff worked in a Mill in Lancashire, England.  Her mother died, and her father remarried.  Her step-mother was cruel to Ellen and her sisters wouldn't give them things.  William Mather married her to get her away from her step-mother."

Brother Robert Mather is witness at the marriage is Bolton parish, so this is likely the correct marriage.

In 1870, George and Helen (37 & 35) were a Hotel Keepers, both born England at Baltimore.  With them were Samuel, Nathan and William (24, 22 & 16)

Ellen died in 1886 at Cross Keys, Baltimore. ~1780 James Cunliffe In 1801, James was a Cordwainer (shoemaker) of Great Harwood when he married Ann Gibson. 1781 - 1815 Ann Gibson 34 34 1804 - 1841 Peggy Cunliffe 37 37 Peggy married Robinson Lang on 30 June 1823 at Accrington. 1815 Mary Cunliffe In 1841, Mary Cunliff was living with her married (assumed) sister Peggy Lang. 

However, Mary may have been the daughter of George Cunliffe and married William Damsbotton, a slater, in 1846. 1811 - 1863 Robert Cunliffe 51 51 Robert was the son of James Cunliffe, a labourer and Betty, not James and Ann.

13 Aug 1838, Robert, Toll Keeper of Turton, married Ann, spinster (daughter of John Heaton).  Roberts father was James Cunliffe, a Labourer.  They had a daughter Jane baptised in 1839 at Blackburn (Roman Catholic).

In 1841, Robert a Toll Keeper and Ann (30 & 31) were at Chadshaw Inn (?) with Jane (2) and James (4mo).

In 1851, Robert and Ann (39 & 43) were at Hells Gate Tollbar, Sharples with Jane and James (11 & 10) and father James Cunliffe (73).

Their son James (born 1841) was a Blacksmith (in 1861, 1864, 1871, 1876). 1801 James Cunliffe James married Alice Fielding by license on 1 April 1827 at Great Harwood.  Alice was 2 years older and from Entwistle (1851 census).

By 1861 and 1871, James was an emploter of over 140 workers at a Calico Printer and Bleach works.

James and Alice lived into their seventies. 1797 - >1851 Jenny (Jane) Chambers 54 54 James and Jenny were married with the consent of parents.  At least one may have been a minor.  However, all the St James church records show consent of minor, so it may mean nothing!

By 1825 (son James and daughter Mary's baptism), 1841 & 1851, Jenny (or Jinny) was known as Jane. 1808 - 1876 Ann Heaton 68 68 Ann's father was John Heaton ~1764 James Cunliffe James had a spot of bother marrting Ann.  The marriage by Banns was planned for 11 Oct 1784 at St Mary, Blackburn, it was entered into the register, but never happened.  There were no signatures and the entry was crossed out.  Instead, they married the following week (17th Oct 1784) at St Bartholomew, Great Harwood by Banns (although Blackburn has the record over-written "Licence Granted"). ~1764 Ann Proctor ~1800 Alice Fielding 1799 - 1857 Robinson Lang 58 58 1820 Nancy Cunliffe 1829 Alice Cunliffe Alice daughter of James and Jenny was baptised at Church in 1829  1819 John Cunliffe 1831 Robert Cunliffe Son of James & Jinny of Top, a Weaver 1823 Ben Cunliffe 1836 - 1861 Ellen Cunliffe 25 25 1796 - >1851 James Cunliffe 55 55 James was the son of Henry and Hannah (see 1861 census for daughter Mary) 1839 Mary Cunliffe Mary was born at Oswaldtwistle, where several Cunliffe families live.

Mary was at Oswaldtwistle with her grandparents Henry and Hannah Cunliffe (68 & 64), retired farmers in 1861. However they are too young to be the parents of her father James (b.1796). 1834 Henry Cunliffe ~1778 Mary Hargreaves 1817 Alice Cunliffe 1824 - 1827 Mary Ann Cunliffe 3 3 1825 - 1844 James Cunliffe 19 19 1825 James Cunliffe In 1881, James and Mary Cunliffe were both 54, born Lower Booths, Lancashire and living at Collinge Fold, Lower Booths. 1792 - 1825 James Cunliffe 33 33 James Cunliffe of Ewood Bridge married Mary Taylor of Oakenwood (?) ~1792 Mary Taylor 1825 James Cunliffe 1811 James Cunliffe The James, a Corwdwainer when he married Ann Gibons may be this James - TBC.

In 1841, James and Sarah (both 30) were at Newchurch, Haslingden with Sarah (3), James (1), and Elizabeth (2mo) 1811 Sarah Pickup 1822 Sarah Ingham Sarah is the daughter of Omerod Ingham and Mary Taylor, who married at Haslingden in 1820 1821 - 1876 Henry Cunliffe 55 55 Henry was the youngest of the 6 children, all baptised the same day, 1 June 1823 at Goodshaw.

In 1841, Henry and Sarah (both 20) were at Roadfield Nook, Rossendale.

Henry Cunliffe, son of James was a minor and a Cordwainer in Feb 1842 when he married Sarah.

In 1861, Henry and Sarah Cunliffe (40 & 39) and family were at Oakenhead Wood, Haslingden Road, Lower Booths.  His father James (82, Wid) was also living with him. 1772 - 1858 Giles Cunliffe 85 85 Giles was the son of Richard and Jane.

In 1841, Giles (65) was at Mount Street, Blackbirn with Ann (25), William (20), and Giles (9)

In 1851, Giles (78, Widower), a retired Cotton Manufacturer was living at 3 Mount Street, Blackburn with his daughter Ann (36), also a widow.

Giles died at Mount Street, Blackburn in 1858, aged 85 ~1772 - <1841 Ann Mosscrop 69 69 1799 William Cunliffe 1795 Molly Cunliffe 1797 John Cunliffe 1794 Richard Cunliffe D. 1808 Mary Cunliffe 1815 Thomas Cunliffe 1818 James Cunliffe 1784 - 1864 Giles Cunliffe 80 80 Giles was the son of James Cunliffe and Mary Rothwell.

In 1841 and 1851, Giles and Ann were living in Smith Street, Little Bolton with their sons Thomas and James. 1783 - 1862 Ann Marshall 79 79 In 1841 and 1851, Giles and Ann were living in Smith Street, Little Bolton with their sons Thomas and James. 1815 Ann Cunliffe 1801 Daniel Cunliffe Father recorded as Janes, not Giles, but this may be a transcription error.

Daniel was an Artist and went to live in Worth Sussex (1841) and then Portsea, Hampshire (1851-61) with his wife Betty M Cunliffe. 1811 - 1879 James Cunliffe 68 68 Margaret appears to be illiegitamate. so perhaps they married after 1838 whe she was born, not in 1834.

James was a Printer and Colour Maker from Chorley.  He moved to Bradshaw Chapel, Turton about 1840, and later about 1845 to Belmont, Sharples.

In 1861, James and Sarah (50 & 49) were back at Chorley.  James was a publican at the Anchor Market Street.

Still there in 1871, The Anchor, 24 Market Street 1814 - 1871 Sarah Jackson 57 57 1841 Hannah Cunliffe 1843 - 1848 Sarah Ann Cunliffe 5 5 Sarah Ann, daughter of James and Sarah Cunliffe of Bradshaw Chaper was baptised 31 Dec 1843 at Chorley. 1846 - 1846 Frances Cunliffe 1848 Richard Cunliffe 1779 - 1837 Sarah Cunliffe 58 58 1838 Margaret Cunliffe 1836 Elizabeth Cunliffe 1851 Sarah Cunliffe GRO review: Sarah was not Sarah Jackson's daughter.  She may not belong with this family. 1854 Mary Ann Cunliffe 1854 James Cunliffe 1841 Elizabeth Cunliffe 1838 Sarah Cunliffe 1839 James Cunliffe 1849 John Cunliffe 1851 James Henry Cunliffe 1853 Alice Ann Cunliffe 1826 Mary Pickup In 1881, James and Mary Cunliffe were both 54, born Lower Booths, Lancashire, 1855 Cunliffe Cunliffe 1843 Lord Ingham Cunliffe 1842 - 1904 Joshua Cunliffe 62 62 Joshua had left home by 1851 and 1861 (or not son of Henry)

In 1851, John (14) and Joshua (8), sons of John and Alice (39 & 38), born Rawtenstall were living at Rawtenstall , Newchurch. 1844 Mary Jane Cunliffe 1840 - 1850 Thomas Wesley Cunliffe 10 10 Born Q4/1840, Mother INGHAM, so probably son of John and Alice (as Henry and Sarah Ingham didnt marry until 1841) 1841 James Cunliffe In 1861, James (19, Married) was with his parents and family at Oakenhead Wood, Haslingden Road, Lower Booths. 1847 - 1897 Robert Cunliffe 49 49 Not with Henry & Sarah's children in 1861, so possibly son of John and Mary. 1846 Sarah Cunliffe 1852 Hannah Cunliffe 1848 - 1850 John Cunliffe 2 2 1851 - 1852 John Omerod Cunliffe 1 1 1856 Ann Cunliffe 1857 Mary Cunliffe 1857 Henry Cunliffe 1855 - 1857 James Ernest Cunliffe 2 2 1854 John Omerod Cunliffe 1859 Joseph Cunliffe 1861 Thomas Catlow Cunliffe 1840 Mary A Cunliffe In 1861, James (20) was Married to Mary A and living with his parents.  This is Probably Mary Ann Waddington (married at Hyndburn RO in 1861) and not Mary Ann Sedgwick (married in 1857 at Bury RO). ~1847 Ann Whitehead 1812 John Cunliffe In 1851, John and Alice (39 & 38) were at Newchurch, Haslingden with John (14) and Joshua (8)

In 1871, John and Alice (59 & 58) were at Lower Booths (no children present. 1813 Alice Ingham Alice Ingham, daughter of John and Mary Ingham (as shown on her childrens baptism records) 1833 Henry Cunliffe 1838 Jane Ingham 1836 John Cunliffe 1826 John Cunliffe In 1841, John was aged 15, living in Rawtenstall, Lower Booths, Haslingden, the son of George a butcher, and Bathseba Cuncliffe (both 45).  He also has a sister Bathsheba (aged 5). 1827 Jane Hargreaves 1864 Bathsheba Cunliffe 1867 Sarah Jane Cunliffe 1853 Hannah Cunliffe 1855 Elizabeth Cunliffe 1858 Sarah Alice Cunliffe 1861 Thomas Cathern Cunliffe 1779 James Cunliffe James Cunliffe of Lower Booth married three Betties, or there were several James Cunliffs (quite possible).

In 1796, James Cuncliffe of Lower Booths married Betty Lonsdale.  Two years later, he married Betty Cuncliffe.

Then two years later again (Jan 1803), James Cunliffe of Lower Booths married Betty Lord of Higher Booths. There are no burial records for any of the three Betties.

In 1811, James Cunliffe and Sarah Lord, both of Higher Booths, married.

In 1823, James was from Oakenhead Wood when all six children were baptised (showing two mothers), but was Robert also his?  Robert (or two Roberts) was baptised twice in 1812 with father James and Mothers Betty and Sarah.

In 1841 James and Sarah (60 & 58) were at Roadfield Nook, Rossendale, and neighbours of son Henry

In 1851, James (71) was a gentleman with wife Sarah (62) and 6 grandchildren (his son Henry's). This cannot be the same James that had the son Robert the Toll Collector (who was in Sharples with his father James).
 1783 Sarah Lord ~1780 Betty Lonsdale 1817 Jane Cunliffe 1812 Peggy Cunliffe 1803 John Cunliffe 1805 Betty Cunliffe In 1832 Betty had a daughter Sarah Cuncliffe (TBC) who was with her in 1841.

Betty married James Worsley. 1810 Sarah Cunliffe ~1780 Betty Cunliffe ~1780 Betty Lord 1796 George Cunliffe In 1841, George and Bathseba (both 45) were at Rawtenstall, Haslingden with their 7 children 1796 Bathsheba Cunliffe 1821 Henry Cunliffe 1824 Mary Cunliffe 1827 Edmund Cunliffe 1830 Zilpha Cunliffe 1832 George Cunliffe 1836 Bathsheba Cunliffe 1803 James Cunliffe In 1824, James married Dorothy Garnett.  GARNETT confirmed on Joseph's 1839 birth record.

In 1841, James and Dorothy (both 38) were at Gregory Fold, Haslingden with 5 children 1803 Dorothy Garnett 1830 Ann Cunliffe 1831 William Cunliffe 1833 James Cunliffe 1836 Joshua Cunliffe 1839 Joseph Cunliffe Robert Cunliffe In 1841, Mary, George, Hannah, John, Ellen and Robert were at Haslingden without parents.  Son George's marriage and family show the family is from Newchurch.

This is possibly Robert and Ann of Haslingden.  They had George (1819), Robert (1821), Ann (1822) and John (1824).

In 1851 Henry and Sarah (45 & 42) from Newchurch had oldest son Robert (18) and others.. This is another family with a Robert who married in 1831 Ann Cunliffe 1820 Mary Cunliffe 1819 - 1894 George Cunliffe 74 74 In 1845, George married Mary Heys at St. Mary, Blackburn

In 1881, George Cuncliffe (60, born Newchurch) and Mary (46, born Haslingden) had son John (29), Alice A (24) and Elizabeth E (18). Births confirm the MMN as HEYS. 1824 Hannah Cunliffe 1826 John Cunliffe 1827 Ellen Cunliffe In 1851 Henry and Ellen Rushton (20 & 23) and not married were at Haslingden with Robert Concliffe (Cunliffe) 1831 Robert Cunliffe This is not the Robert Cunliffe born Oswaldtwistle (who was on another 1841 census) 1839 Jane Cunliffe Jane was 2 in 1841 and 11 in 1851, daughter of James a Toll Keeper.

There is no birth registered for Jane Cunliffe (MMN = HEATON), so possibly illegitimate or adopted.  However, the R/C baptism does confirm mothers full name and DOB.

williamball1 has a 11cM DNA match to Paul Mather and Paul and Jane in his tree. However, he is not descended from Robert Cunliffe. 1841 James Cunliffe 1778 - 1858 James Cunliffe 80 80 In 1811, James had a son Robert at Clayton-le-Moors

In 1841, James Cunliffe (60) was living at Bakenshaw Fold, Clayton-le-Moors, Great Harwood with Richard Birkenstaff (75, Ag Lab) and family.  Another James and Betty (61 & 60) were farmers at Harrison Hill, Walton-le-dale, Blackburn.

In 1851, James (73) was living with his son Robert the Toll Collector at Sharples

10 May 1858, James died at Sharples, aged 80 and is buried at Great Harwood, St Bartholomew.  Son James and his wife Ann are also buried there. 1779 - 1819 Sarah Cunliffe 40 40 1785 - 1858 James Cunliffe 73 73 James was possibly baptised at Bolton, son of James and Ann.  There do not appear to be any other siblings from Bolton.   More likely though he as the son of William Cunliff and Susanna Booth (as both uses Bank Street and he has a daughter Susannah).

James Cunliffe was a School Master.  He son John was also a School Master at Bolton.

James was married to Ellen (Nelly) Hill (or Hall).  Several birth records record the mother's maiden name as HILL.  Also on Alice's birth, it is shown as HALL and they lived at Astley Bridge.

In 1819, Nelly and James had a daughter Mary.  James was a School Master.

25 Jan 1825, James Cunliffe married Maria Hall at St Peter's, Bolton by license.  James was a widower.

In 1841, James and Maria (53 & 40) were at Back Turton Street with Ellen (19), John (15), Sarah (13), Daniel (11), William (7) and Rachel (2).

In 1851, James and Maria Cunliffe (63 & 51) were at 100 Turton Street, Little Bolton with 6 children 1801 - 1857 Maria Hall 56 56 MMN = HALL for Rachel and Ruth. 1828 Sarah Cunliffe 1830 Daniel Cunliffe 1833 William Cunliffe 1839 Rachel Cunliffe 1843 Benjamin Franklin Cunliffe There is no birth registered for Benjamin

In 1851 Benjamin Franklin Cunliffe was 8 with parents James and Maria 1845 Ruth Cunliffe Ruth, the youngest of the family was 5 in 1851

In 1861, Ruth was a lodger with Edward and Esther Taylor (not related) 1842 - 1920 Joseph Cunliffe 78 78 a Son James died in 1841, so James was a "replacement".

Joseph married Rebecca (1842-1920).  They are buried together in his mother's grave at Tong 1837 - 1841 Joseph Cunliffe 4 4 1822 - 1857 Ellen Cunliffe 35 35 Ellen is the daughter of James a School Master and Maria, born 1822 and baptised 1835 when she was 15 (and after her parents had married). 1826 John Cunliffe ~1785 - ~1819 Ellen (Nelly) Hill 34 34 When died Ellen die?  In 1825 when James re-married he was a widow.  However, in 1822, daughter Ellen's mother was Maria, so had Ellen died, or had James abandoned her?  In 1813, daughter Alice also has mothe's name as HALL rather than Hill.  There is no death nrecord with James named as the husband.

Nelly was possibly buried in 1818 or 1821 at Wardleworth, the daughter of James Hill. 1819 Mary Cunliffe 1815 - 1888 Susanna Cunliffe 72 72 1813 Alice Cunliffe 1811 Elizabeth (Betsy) Cunliffe Betsy when married, but Elizabeth on census records Created using GenoPro® Click for details.
