Welcome to The Briercliffe Society Forum

I wish to find information re the parents of John Willie Mason (born 1867 ) and/or Mary Sutcliffe ( born 1867). Their children were Nanny Mason ( 1894 - 1954), Ellen (1892 - 1973), Willie ( 1898 - 1976) and Clara ( 1900 - 1978), who all lived in Briercliffe/Harle Syke.

Morning, welcome to the forum.
I believe the parents of Mary Sutcliffe were John Sutcliffe (Abt 1842 - ) and Ann Stanworth (Abt 1843 - ). Mary is the eldest of 7 children that I am aware of.
If this is correct, our 2 lines will meet another 3 generations further back.

This is the 1881 census for Mary when she was last found with her parents
