Welcome to Biltcliffe.co.uk This site is for people who are related or interested in the name and its many variations. We hope to share some of the research that we have done into the past, and hopefully help others find their ancestors. It is as accurate as we can make it – but please let us know of any mistakes.
We limit the information we hold to people carrying the name and their spouses. Information about living people is only added with their consent. We have concentrated on West Yorkshire, but will extend work on Tyneside and South East England if we have the time and resources.

Good hunting!
