My g-g-grandmother is Betty RATCLIFFE Collier Buckley. She was born in 1806 in Bedford, Lancashire, England. We believe that her father was Samuel Ratcliffe, and her mother, was Catherine BOARDMAN Ratcliffe.
She died on 7 October 1867, at Bedford, Lancashire, England. Her brother was Robert Ratcliffe also born in Bedford in 1815.
Her son, Joseph Ratcliffe Collier, emigrated to the United States in 1848, with his three cousins, Joshua Collier, William Birchall, and Joshua Boydell, all were from Lowton, Lancashire, England.

Hi, my Ratliff ancestors are from eastern Ky mostly in Pike County. It is good to hear from other Ratliff's, Grundy is really close to where I grew up. The Ratliff line was the hardest to find in my genealogy research. I have found quite a bit of info since then though thankfully.

It is great to have a group for Ratliff surname....where are you ancestors from? WV, VA, KY? or other states?
I have quite a bit about the line in VA, and KY. My paternal grandmother was a Ratliff from Grundy, VA.
