Hello John
Great to hear from you, and of your findings on "William of Waterloo" as I like to refer to him!I didn't know any details of his Service.
Re the book "The Rockliff Saga", this was written by descendants of William's brother Henry, who emigrated to Tasmania, so it deals mainly with them, though a little is mentioned of pre Tasmania Rockliffs.I don't know where you could get a copy now, as I believe it was printed about 30 years ago.An elderly Rockliff wife in Tasmania handed her copy onto me before she died.
I hope you will be able to make contact with Amalea, who has created a wonderful "Rockliff Repository" for us all to add our members; and with Steve Rockliff who lives somewhere in England, and who has also visited William's Grave in Kirk Smeaton.Steve is descended from William too, as is my husband Les (through William's son John,)
Please keep in touch,
Best regards,
Laurel
