The Rackliff Family in the London Area

This page lists those members of the Rackliff family whose origins we are researching. Entries in italics are inferred or uncertain, or have been supplied by other researchers and not personally verified by us. The list does not include children known to have died in infancy. Please contact Chris Warren if you feel that the family listed here is connected with your own research.

The Rackliff family we are researching lived mainly to the west of London, including places which were then in Middlesex. Later generations moved to central or south-west London. So far we have traced this line back to Henry Rackliff and Hannah Lovat, who lived in Amersham in Buckinghamshire, but we know nothing about them or their origins. We have found variations in the spelling, including Rackliffe, Ratcliff and Radcliff. One branch consistently spelled their name Ratcliffe, as shown below.

We do have more details about many of the people listed below which have not yet been put on line, and the Rackliffs are not yet included in the alphabetical list of names. We will, however, be happy to exchange information with anyone who has a close connection to this family.
