Hi Lisa & Bob Its not even as good as that There are no SLYFORDs found in any census 1841 to 1911 on either findmypast or Ancestry It suggests its either evolved into another name or more likely was taken down phonetically The most obvious would be SLEAFORD (that is most likely originally from Sleaford in Lincolnshire) Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 26/04/2016 13:04, Bob Rust via wrote: > According to the surname finder there was less than 100 people with that > surname in 1881 and 1998. > > Bob > >> Dear Everybody: >> >> I wondered if anyone was familiar with the surname Slyford >> >> My fifth great grandmother was Ursula Slyford born 1688 in Great >> Witchingham, Norfolk. >> >> She married my fifth great-grandfather James Hunt born 20 Oct 1686 in >> Hempstead, By Holt Norfolk and died in Norwich in 1743 >> >> Their daughter my fourth great-grandmother was Sarah Hunt born 15 July >> 1725 >> Sparham, Norfolk and died Dec 1770. >> >> Would greatly appreciate any information especially about the surname >> Slyford. >> >> Thanks in Advance >> >> Lisa Dayley >> Rexburg, Idaho
