Robert Juckes Clifton

Sir Robert Juckes Clifton, 9th Baronet (24 December 1826 – 30 May 1869)[1] was an English Liberal Party politician who sat in the House of Commons in two periods between 1861 and 1869.

He succeeded his father to the baronetcy in 1852, but had to live for several years in France because of his debts from gambling and horse racing (see George Samuel Ford).

[1] He was re-elected for Nottingham at the 1868 general election[3] but died a year later at the age of 42 from typhoid fever.

In 1868 building work began on the Clifton Colliery at Wilford after coal was found on the estate.
