Title: Crowfoot / Crawford - Cheshire / Oxfordshire
Post by: liford on Saturday 18 September 10 23:54 BST (UK)

I am researching my CRAWFORD tree (located in Cheshire) and have been given a copy of a tree that indicates the origin of the surname was in Oxfordshire and known as CROWFOOT.

The earliest documentation that I have uncovered today, at Cheshire Records, was of a marriage in 1774 at St Oswald's, Chester of Stephen CROWFOOT to Dorothy WYNN.

Later records appear to show the name as CRAWFORD.

A burial of Stephen CRAWFORD aged 69 appeared at St Mary's, Chester in 1822

Has anyone else researched either of these names from either location, that may have a missing individual's history on their tree?

Many thanks,
Liam.

I have a William Crawford born around 1798 in Duddon, Cheshire. Some of his children were registered in Over, Cheshire as Crowfoot. I'd assumed it was a spelling error.

I haven't found his birth or marriage, and don't know his father's name. Not very useful, sorry! But I was very interested to read your post.
