Diane, I feel rather silly. I spent a lot of time scouring the registers for this "Cliff" family only to discover that the surname is definitely "Oliff" (or Olive in modern terms). In almost every instance what I took as a C was a fully closed loop (or "O"), often with a strike through. In any event, since these might be of interest to you I recorded what I found. FYI, I searched baptisms from 1559 to 1640 and marriages from 1571 to 1618. Note that many of the register entries were in latin (which I do not know) and the writing was often very difficult, so take this with a grain of salt. The following entries may be related to this family:
21 Jan 1578 Willm Ollife married Jone Luckyn
2 Jan 1581/2 Agnes dtr of Wm ?Lambat baptized
27 Jan 1587/8 Wm son of Wm Lambert baptized
24 Nov 1589 Ellen Oliffe baptized
10 Aug 1596 ?Rednes Olyffe als Lambard son of Wm baptized
12 Aug 1605 Thomas Seman and Agness Oliff als Lambert married
11 Jul 1611 Tomas Oliff als Lambard and Johanna Barker married
23 Aug 1613 Wm Olyff als Lambard son of Wm and Johan baptized
26 Jan 1614 Robert Kettell and Helen Oliff als Lambart married
Sep 1615 Christian Lambert als Olyff dtr of Thomas and Johan baptized
31 May 1620 ____ of Thomas Olyff als Lambert, sailor and Jone baptized
30 Nov 1617 William Oliff als Lambard and Priscilla ?Shennyng married
Aug 1620 Wm Olyffe son of Wm Olyff als ?Lambard saylor and Priscilla baptized
Aug 1621 James Olyff als Lambert(?d) son of Thomas Olyff, mariner and Joane baptized
Aug 1625 Grace Olliff als Lambart dtr of Tho ?Olyfft als Lambert, mariner and Joane baptized
7 Sep 1628 Grace Olliff als Lambert dtr of Thomas Olliff als Lambert, mariner and Joane baptized
7 Sep 1632 Anne Ollyff als Lambert dtr of Wm Ollyff als Lambert, mariner and Anne baptized
29 Jan 1636/7 Johanes of William Oliff als Lambert and Judith baptized
Hope this is of interest to you. Bill

Thank you for those early marriages in Harwich. I was not aware that there was a Cliff family there. I took a look at the register and am pretty sure that names are rendered as Cliff als. Lambard (ie. cliff alias Lambard). I believe that it was not uncommon at the time to record an additional surname. It would often happen if someone inherited or was vested in property through another family name -often the maternal side. In as much as the father also carried the alias the tie is at least one generation up from these marriages.
Please let me know if you come across any other early Cliff's.
Regards, Bill
