Where is Tyrfield? Please, help!
« on: Monday 29 June 09 12:04 UTC (UK) »
In the wills index that is on the Bucks archives site I believe I located a will for an ancestor (At first glance it appears promising.)  Anyway, the index gives the place as Tyrfield. I haven't been able to locate this place after using google search, mapquest or an old map I have. I used the will index search again and typed Tyrfield in alone to see how many "hits" I would get. I just got one which was the person I was interested in. The only place that comes up using "google" or mapquest is Therfield in Herts. Would a will from Herts be in Bucks? I'm supposing that Tryfield is a small village. Does anyone know?
Thanks!

Everyone, thanks so much for your help! I think the best thing for me now is to check out the deaths in these places and hope one of them pans out. Again, thanks!

Hello Donna

Don't bother looking at Tyringham - it's most definitely Turville.

Thanks Orpheus!

I'll check Turville first. I was leaning towards there, especially with its connection to Therfield in Herts.
