Thread: Trafford Surname

Is there anyone that could look-up the Traffords from Kirtlington, Oxfordshire for me.

I am trying to find JOHN TRAFFORD (I do not know his dob) His occupation in 1853 states he was a BAKER. This info. came from his son Thomas & Eliza Kents marriage certificate.

They were married in the parish of St Clement, Oxford.

Anything at all would be a help.



Thanks



Dot

Thank you so much for all this info.

Can I presume now that John Trafford on the 1871 census is Thomas's father? And that this is the same Thomas (1831) who married Eliza Kent.



I did notice that on all the census John (if it is the same one) changed his occupation, 3 times, was this a normal occurance?



Thanks again

Hi Dot,



Rather confusingly there's another Thomas Trafford born circa 1834 in Kirtlington, he married an Elizabeth and was a master baker, in 1871 he was living in Summertown St. Giles Oxford and in 1881 in Woolvercot.



Do you have any more info on your Thomas and Eliza ie birth years? or children's names and birth years?

Slizzy

Thomas was born about 1830/1 and on his marriage cert. its states his occupation UPHOLSTERER. Its John that was the BAKER.

I can only find one Eliza Kent born circa 1830's and living in Oxfordshire at the time of the 1851 census, this Eliza was born in Farringdon Berkshire. The Eliza married to Thomas on the 1861 and 71 census' which I posted for you was born in Farringdon Berkshire.

Sorry Slizzy pressed the wrong button.



To continue: The address on the marriage cert does read BATH STREET if thats a help to you.



Eliza was born in Faringdon, Berkshire.



Dot

Sorry

You are too quick for me.

Do you think now that John is Thomas's father?

I do hope so. I have been up so many lines of Traffords and they have been incorrect.
