Hi All.
I have a very comprehensive familly tree "authenticated" of the Radfords of Derbyshire and North Warwickshire back to 1570. I also have a lot of informtion on the Cambridge branch of the Radfords but cannot fit it in.
I'm very interested in the Devon Radfords prior to 1450 since I have information that a male Radford left Devon to go to Smalley Hall, Derbyshire in 1350. This still leaves me with a 200 year gap in Derbyshire!!
I've got as far as Sir Nicholas Radford( devon) (foully murdered !!) and his Father Robert both died first half of 15th century.
Can anyone help????? Terry Radford 07785 708 768

Hi Terry,
Not sure whether I can help, but I am trying to link the Devon Radfords to the Derbyshire Radfords.
I have managed to trace the Radfords back to John Radford (1614 - 1687) married to a Grace Parker, living in Smalley. John died at Stainsbury House in Horsley Woodhouse.
I would be very interested to see the information that you have on the male Radford that left Devon to go to Smalley Hall, Derbyshire in 1350, as I think this may be the link I am looking for.
Thanks for the help in advance

Hi Terry, I have Radford's in Nottinghamshire + Derbyshire, mine are mostly Notts though, they migrated from Uffculme in Devonshire I am a direct descendant of Robert Radford born c1650 in Uffculme he married a Rebecca ( Rebekah ) Dulin also born c1650 in Uffculme, I haven't got access to my tree records we have guests staying with us and cannot get on my computer, my wife's computer has tonight come in very handy, you are the first Radford researcher I have found on Roots Chat, and this is only the 2nd time I have used Roots Chat.I have been trawling through the 30 odd pages on this Devon board in the hope of finding another Radford, and here you are. Its possible that our trees might merge some where back as I recall seeing listings of Thurston Radford and have also seen information of a lady cannot remember her first name, last name Thurston on the inside walls of Lincoln Cathedral. Ive taken note of your mobile number and will text you my email address. Regards Dave Radford

Hi David,
Most interested in the Notts connection

Hi both - is this thread still going? I've got a lot of Radfords around Barnstaple in Devon and would love to see if they link back to the famous Nicholas. Have also wondered about the link to Derbys/Notts for years.

Hello! I am a Radford and would like to know if you would share your research? If so, please let me know of how I can view it. I am in the US so I may have information you need? If so, I would be happy to share as well.

Hello There,
I have Radfords in amongst a maternal line of my ancestors on my father's side:
The furthest I have managed to get back to (at the moment anyway), is one of my 9x great granddad's William Radford.
He married Grace Saunder/ Saunders, at a place called Farway in Devon, on the 29th of April 1678.
I discovered a POSSIBLE lineage for the above William. But cannot be certain of it however:
This William was POSSIBLY baptised in Farway in 1666, the son of an Edward Radford.
As you may see, this would mean my William was only 12 years old at the time of marriage. But that is the only baptism I can find. There are others, but none seem to be anywhere near the area of Farway.
William's possible father, Edward Radford, married Grace Cox in Farway in 1655:

Edward was possibly baptised in 1624, in Sidbury. It is only a short distance of 4 miles from Farway, in Devon:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NBQT-5B3
William's father Edward was buried in 1668 in Farway, and there is a reference here for his will:

Thank you. :) ;)

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has come across a Catherine and Elizabeth Radford on the Exeter 1841 census that connects to anyone's tree.
Catherine Came to New Zealand on the ship Essex 1842. As far as we know she was not married. She died in NZ.
Elizabeth on the 1841 census with Catherine we are sure she came to NZ on the ship the Blenheim 1842 under the assumed name of Elizabeth Payne. There is no Elizabeth Radford on the passenger list for the Blenheim. The only Elizabeth on the Blenheim is Elizabeth Payne which no one seems to know anything about her.
Also on the Blenheim is a Thomas Radford. We thought perhaps he could be a brother, or it is just a coincidence there is another Radford on the ship.
We are not sure but we think she changed her name because she and another Elizabeth Radford were caught stealing in 1837. Elizabeth the elder was transported to Australia and the Elizabeth on the 1841 census got hard labour in Exeter. All speculation of course.
Family lore has it that Elizabeth Radford came to NZ with her sister Agnes Dust nee Radford.
Agnes married James Dust in Dublin. James Dust was in the 46th Reg. of foot and we have quite a lot of info. on the Dust family in the hope of tracing Agnes would take us back to Elizabeth but to no avail.
Would love to hear from anyone that has come across these two Radford ladies in the hope that the Elizabeth on the 1841 census is our Elizabeth and we find someone tracing the family.

Terry,
I've traced my ancestry to Robert Radford of Uffculme, born mid to late 1600s. I would love to see the tree going back further. Please let me know if this thread is still active.
Thanks!

I have three Radfords, but I know almost nothing about them, so they may not be any use to you, but here goes:
Katherine Radford, married Edward Lawrence (my great[10]grandfather, as his second wife). No dates, no placenames, no parents. Edward born after 1534, died after 1623.
Henry Radford, my great[15]grandfather. no other information, except his daughter:
Elizabeth Brune, my great[14]grandmother. née Radford, died 1471. Married Maurice Brune. Two sons, including Thomas Brune.
Such dates as I have don't seem to add up, as 1534 - 1471 = 63 years -- not enough for 6 generations, even if Elizabeth Brune was in her 90s when she died.
That's it. No placenames, but quite likely Devon.
