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.
In 1868 building work began on the Clifton Colliery at Wilford after coal was found on the estate. The colliery opened in 1870 after Clifton's death, as did the Wilford Toll Bridge for which he was also responsible.[2]
Clifton married Geraldine Isabella O'Meara, daughter of Colonel John O'Meara, in 1863. They had no children and the baronetcy became extinct upon his death. The Clifton estates went to his cousin's son Henry Robert Markham.
