RADCLIFFE, Richard (c.1379-c.1442), of Radcliffe, Lancs.

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Family and Education
b. c.1379, s. and h. of James Radcliffe (d.1409) of Radcliffe by Joan, da. of Sir John Tempest of Bracewell, Yorks.; er. bro. of Sir John Radcliffe*. m. His w. is traditionally given as Cecily, da. of Sir John Assheton (d.1428) of Ashton-under-Lyme: C.P. Hampson, Bk. of Radclyffes, 28; Lancs. Knights of the Shire (Chetham Soc. xcvi), 159. On chronological grounds, it is much more likely that she was Sir John’s sister, but no contemporary evidence has been found to support either match. If his w. was a Cecily, it is a curious coincidence that his younger brother, Sir John, also married a Cecily. Further, a deed of 1447 refers to Alice as the wid. of Richard Radcliffe, although it is not certain that she was our MP’s wid.: John Rylands Univ.Lib., Manchester, Rylands Chs. RYCH/206. at least 1s.
