Hi, I am just starting to research my materal grand-mother's family. On the 1881 census they are down as: Hugh Bamford born at Bretherton(32) Mary Bamford Maclesfield(32 Philip F. Bamford Oldham(12) Betty Bamford born at Chadderton(10) Sarah Bamford(my Gran.) Chadderton(8) Thomas Bamford Chadderton(6) Harry Bamford Hopwood(2) Ralph Hopwood(3 months) Do any of you have any Bamfords in your tree that may relate to mine?
