I have just joined the WOOLFORD mailing list, but as yet have received no messages. My interest is through some ancestors of my wife, descended from William Hayden WOOLFORD who was baptized in 1785 in Woolston, Uffington, illegitimate son of Ann WOOLFORD. William moved to Didcot, Berkshire marrying there Mary LEY in 1808, and dying there in 1865. They had at least 11 children including : Joseph (died 1878 in London) John (bap 1814) who married Amelia BATES in 1841 and lived in London Thomas (bap 1816) mar. Elizabeth (born in Ulverston) Abraham (bap 1818) lived in Harwell & Uxbridge. Married Anne NEWTON in 1843. Benjamin (bap 1822) lived London. Married Caroline Hannah SILK, with at least 8 children. [My wife's ancestors] Richard (bap 1824) mar. Maria. Lived in Edmonton in 1881. Henry (1827-1872) lived London. Married to Charlotte Robert (bap 1829). Lived in Portsea in 1851 I have more details of some of these and their descendants. Also I have been in correspondence with others interested in Woolford from Berks, Wilts, Bucks etc. I would be pleased to correspond with others with an interest in this family.
