Trisha and Sheila Tunnicliffe at High Ercall Airbase in WW 2

cmcwmumb — 2010-08-21 16:58:45Z

I am trying to locate women from Leicester England who went by the name of Trisha (Tricia) Agnes and Sheila L. Tunnicliffe and were stationed at the High Ercall RAF Air Base near Shropshire in WW 2. Trisha may have married a man named Perkins in 1946. Trisha also had a sister named Sheila who worked at the airbase whom I would also like to find. Can anyone help me with either of these women?

My GG Grandfather came from Hollybrook Demesne near Ballyhealy next to Lough Arrow north of Boyle. His name on his marriage certificate is Toniclift (to Catherine Higgins) and his name on his death certificate is Tunnycliffe.
Catherine moved to Coatbridge with the family (except my G Grandfather, Richard,who went to Liverpool) after the death of her husband. At this moment I don't know why.
There were quite a few Tunnicliffe (with various spellings) families around this area and in nearby parishes.

Hi The Kullukin Boyle is in the Carrick on Shannon area of Ireland. Very pleasant area of the country which i recently visited. As far as I can work out the names Tunnicliffe, Tonacliff, Toneycliffe,Toneycliff are of the same family. I am related to the family in Carrick on shannon, Roscommon area of Ireland.

HI just found this message board. the name is incorrect Hellen Tunnicliffe. the lady was called Ellen Toneycliffe. I am a decendant of one of her brothers John. the family lived in NZ a few years after Ellen. one brother Robert is still AWOL. The family came from Carrick on Shannon Ireland. have found many spellings of the name: Tonacliff, Tonicliff Toneycliff etc. Where the family came from before Ireland ????

Hi, All Mauds children were born in Ashbourne, there is not a William on the list however.

Her Father was William 1859 and her Brothers were Charles 1889 and Clifford 1885.

So may be connection somewhere.

Hi I've just been searching for a few of my family names and found your message. My GGGrandfather was Joseph Bratt brother to your Elizabeth Bratt. I have the children of Elizabeth Bratt and Samuel Tunniclffe as Jesse, Harry, Mary Elizabeth and Samuel but no further details which I would love to be able to fill in. I only live a few miles away from the Meerbrook/Upperhulme area so if I can help you with any missing details I'm happy to help.

Hello again. I sent you an e-mail but,since I haven't heard from you, I thought maybe there is a chance that you didn't get it. I haven't been in touch with Betty or Janis in awhile but maybe I will be able to do so this weekend. Have you been in touch with either of them? It is interesting to be in touch with family you have never met and discover what you may or may not have in common. I feel as though I have missed out on a lot. Many years ago my husband and I were in England. He was attending school on the in's and out's of a new aircraft. He was there a month and I went over for two weeks. I loved it there but, of course, had no idea that I might have family within reach. Didn't even get a chance to look for any. I would love to go back again but there seems to be no chance of that in the near future. Anyway, I hope that you will contact me again. Bye

gils62 — 2008-02-26 21:01:16Z

I live in the UK, my parents are Cemont & Ken who visited Canada a few years back and stopped with Betty & Dave in Vancover
Betty & Dave also came over to the UK while my great grandma Mary Elizabeth was still alive and living with us
Mum hasn't written to Betty yet to tell her I have managed to trace Jesse's parents and grandparents and I don't have their email address
My email address is gils62@aol.com if you want to contact me directly - feel free to pass on to any other family members
Its lovely to make contact with distant relatives

Re: Gordon Tunnicliffe

DARLENEWAYSHAW — 2008-02-26 00:24:35Z

Thank you for responding to my query about the Tunnicliffe Family. I received a response to a message board about two years ago and it was a cousin living in Vancouver. Since them I have been in contact with my aunt Betty and have had one note from aunt Isabelle. My parents were divorced when I was very young so I had no knowledge of the family until I returned to Manitoba in 1960 and met my father a couple of years later. I moved back to Florida in 1964 and he came down for my wedding. That was the last time I saw him.
I received a copy of the family tree from Betty so have been attempting to learn as much as I can from that.
Have you been in contact with Betty? Do you live in Canada or the UK?
I hope that you will write to me again and, once again, I do thank you for making contact.

Re: Gordon Tunnicliffe

gils62 — 2008-02-24 18:54:23Z

The twin girls you mention are Betty & Isabelle - who are both still alive - Betty who now lives in Vancover has researched the family tree
Father was Gordon Samuel born 1918 in Rama Saskatchewan died of cancer in 1974 Port McNeill British Columbia- Grandfather was Harry who emigrated from Staffordshire to Canada on the SS Victoria in 1911 - Harry's brother Samuel also emigrated to Canada in 1926
I am a descendant of their sister Mary Elizabeth who remained in Staffordshire
Going further back they are the children of Samuel Tunnicliffe born 1865 and Elizabeth Bratt
Samuels parents were Jesse (c1826) and Mary Dale
Jesse's parents where Roger (c1791)& Susanna
Rogers parents were Roger (c1756)& Ann

Re: Tunnicliffe's Tea Trips

be29mt — 2007-10-06 13:38:47Z

Hi Shelley

I don't know very much more than my original post.

The Tunnicliffe's Tea Trips seem to have been organised like a savings club - where people paid a little money each week throughout the year, saving towards the cost of the day trip. All the money was collected in advance so that there was nothing to pay on the day of the trip.

I think the Tunnicliffe's Tea Trips were organised by a local shopkeeper in Lancashire who made all the travel arrangements, by train and charabanc, and organised the meals for the party during the day.

They travelled to a different holiday location each year. I only know of the trip to Worksop and Sherwood Forest in 1912 and the trip to North Wales the following year.

The Tunnicliffe's Tea Trips were probably discontinued in 1914, due to the outbreak of the First World War.

Sorry I can't give you much more information. I was hoping someone else would know about the earlier trips.

shelpob — 2007-10-05 06:10:50Z

Could you please tell me more about these Tunnicliffe Tea trips? My Tunnicliffe family lived in the Nottingham area for generations so I would be curious to know more

Thank you

Steven_Tunnicliffe — 2007-07-27 20:15:03Z

Hi,
Yes still on the trail of Tunnicliffes. So far it's led me to Ireland where the name takes several forms: Tonicliffe, Tunnycliffe and Tonicleft to name but a few.
My Great Great Grandfather couldn't write so the registrars seem to have spelt it as it sounded.
No connection as far as I am aware to Nottingham Tunnicliffs.

Sorry.

Tunnicliffe's Tea Trips

be29mt — 2007-07-20 14:09:17Z

My Mother went on TUNNICLIFFE'S 4th Annual TEA TRIP in July 1912. It was a day trip to Worksop and the Dukeries, near Sherwood Forest. The party left Earlestown by train at 7am, had a carriage drive through the forest and then lunch. After tea they took the train back to Earlestown, where they arrived at 10pm.

In July 1913 she went on TUNNICLIFFE'S 5th Annual TEA TRIP, this time to Colwyn Bay.

Does anyone have any information about the earlier Tunnicliffe's Tea Trips, the 1st, the 2nd and the 3rd, which presumably took place in 1909, 1910, and 1911.

Hi Steve,

Hi,
Regards James Tunnacliffe. I'm researching Tunnacliffes in London, as thats where my ancestory is heading. My father mentioned that a uncle of his went to Canada and thats all I know on that point. But during my search I have come across a James Tunnacliffe who had a daughter Florence Lottie Tunnacliffe born 1893 in the Sept quarter(I dont have the exact month so it could be July).
However I believe his wife was called Charlotte.
Hope this is of some help.
