I am researching my wifes family name of SAPSFORD from Gt. Hallingbury, Essex. i have my wifes g.g.grandparents as Jesse SAPSFORD bc: 1811 and Elizabeth Ann PRIOR bc: 1811 at Gt. Hallingbury. I have searched the Gt. Hallingbury and Lt. Hallingbury Bishop Transcripts and did not find Jesse nor his parents. I have information( just received) on Elias SAPSFORD to be the father of Jesse but, this is not confirmed by any parish record. I did transcribe the BT's from Gt/Lt. Hallingbury for the name Sapsford and have them on file. Hopefully this puzzle will be put together over some time? If anyone has any information or is researching the name SAPSFORD i would be most pleased to hear from them.
