Beaford

[Trees]

Hi,
I am very interested in finding any interesting facts about Beaford . It appears that my husband's ancestors include the vast majority of residents in the nineteenth century 
Our main names are DYMENT, FOLLAND, HEARD, NOTT these marry into many other families so if you have a Beaford Ancestor please ask I may be able to help and I am sure you will be able to help me too.
I have interest in the Gunsmiths and Blacksmiths and Publicans as well as pupil teachers and naturally Agricultural workers.

Hello Trees,

The Devon Libraries Local Studies Service appears to be a great place to start a search for some interesting facts about Beaford.  I did as the Library suggested on their website and used the place search on the main local studies section of their site. A paper titled "Beaford folk and their neighbours" which was read to the Women's Institute, Beaford on 5th October 1927 may produce some of the facts that you are seeking. www.devon.gov.uk/localstudies/100420/1.html
