The name is interesting as we first knew it as WOOLFORD. It seems that the family changed their name around the early 1800's. It sort of evolved from WORFOLK to WOOLFOLK then WOOLFORD when they moved to Lancashire then Australia. Can anyone help me with information about Methley (location, size etc) and origins of the name WORFOLK. Denise Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
