I have been working for a while, piecing things together from the various Cunliffe family records in Australia.
There was a large number from the same family who arrived in Victoria in 1852.
I hope these brief notes make sense.

died 1851 His will is available for free from:
https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/D60679(Interesting reading about how the family will emigrate to Australia. Children are named.)
After the father James died, the family came to Australia.
You will see on the above 1852 shipping record “Lord Stanley” that Jane CUNCLIFFE is a widow. All her children who came with her are listed, but Samuel has had a tick placed in the wrong column for age. I think James, Joseph, William and Elizabeth would have been aged younger than 14, so are correctly ticked.
Mother
Jane Cunliffe nee Pritchard (widow) married in Melbourne in 1853 to Nicholas Perchard, but she died the following year.
Most of the children can be traced through marriages and deaths in NSW and VIC.
Let me know if you need more help to trace all the children.
I think it should be possible to trace both James Cuncliffe and Jane Pritchard back at least another generation in England and Wales.
