Much of the information on this page came from "Hallamshire", by Joseph Hunter, Pedigree of Shiercliffe of Ecclesfield-Hall, Whitley-Hall &c. pages 446-448. I have had little success in proving the first six generations of Hunter's pedigree, so use this information with discretion.

The following is a introduction to the Pedigree of Shiercliffe of Ecclesfield-Hall, Whitley-Hall &c. by Joseph Hunter.

" No other name appears more frequently in the early volumes of the court-rolls for the manor of Ecclesfield than the name of Shiercliffe; and there can be little doubt that the family were indigenous to this neighbourhood, deriving their name from Shiercliffe, where the Mounteneys had their seat, and not removing hither from Wolverhampton, as is stated in an old pedigree of the family. The arms and crest were confirmed to William Shiercliffe, of Ecclesfield Hall, the friend of Dodsworth, by Richard St. George, whose certificate is now in the possession of Miss Elizabeth Gunning, of Swainswick, near Bath, a co-representative of that branch of the family which resided at Whitley Hall. The arms are evidently allusive to the office which was held by Thomas Shiercliffe in the reign of Henry VII., of master of the game to the lords of Hallamshire. The best authorities for the earlier descents of this family area pedigree entered at the visitation of 1612, and another showing the descent of William Shiercliffe, of Ecclesfield Hall, from the master of the game, compiled by William Shiercliffe himself, and preserved among Mr. Wilson's collections. I have also had the assistance of a pedigree compiled by Charles Green Esquire, Lancaster herald, in drawing up the following table, in which I have endeavoured to avoid stating anything as proved which was of dubious authority."
