Googling for Cliff Bank Yorkshire, the first match I found was a thread of yours! Anyway, I wonder if it could be this place (near Holmfirth):

Okay, I don't think that Holmfirth place is the right one, because further down the list of Google matches I found a Margaret Greathead who is supposed to have been born at Cliff Bank, Yorkshire around 1848, and is at Piercebridge, Darlington, Co Durham on the censuses, with parents John and Jane, and there is a likely baptism for Margaret Greathead at Manfield, Yorkshire. Googling for Manfield parish, Genuki says it includes a place called Cliffe, which is 1 1/2 miles NNW of Manfield and 6 miles WNW of Darlington, so not too far from Bishop Auckland either.

Ooh, and there is a Mary Dixon baptised at Manfield 20 May 1798, born 29 Apr 1798, parents David and Mary. (From FamilySearch)

There is a transcription of the Manfield parish registers available online but it doesn't give a place of residence on that Mary Dixon baptism:

Mary Dixon's baptism is on page 76. No other mention of that Dixon family in there, though, according to the index.

Yes! Found a map with Cliffe Bank on, and it is near Manfield:
