A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Clifton from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:

"CLIFTON, or Rocksavage, a township in Runcorn parish, Cheshire; 2 miles NE of Frodsham. Population: 30. It gives the title of Earl of Rocksavage to the Marquis of Cholmondeley."

GENUKI gives the following details: Clifton (also known as Rocksavage) was a township in Runcorn ancient parish in Bucklow Hundred which became a civil parish in 1866. In 1936 the civil parish was abolished to become part of Sutton (near Runcorn). It includes the hamlets of Beechwood, Clifton, Palace Fields (south) and Southgate (part). The population was 28 in 1801, 30 in 1851, and 213 in 1901.
