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

12 Aug 1605 Thomas Seman and Agness Oliff als Lambert married
