I can trace my ancestors to
William Walford
born 1841 Bickford, Staffordshire
died 1918 Staffordshire
spouse Alice Hood b1840 d1920
married 26th Dec 1864
All Saints, Lapley, Staffordshire, England
Trees on Ancestry have his father as John Westbrook Walford, but without any evidence
I suspect this has come from a single tree and not verified
Any thoughts
Thanks in anticipation
Steve

In 1841 William is 4 months old. Can't find a birth registration for him though.
Looks like Sarah was a Smith?

Thanks for the replies, they support the evidence that I have
I have a copy of the marriage certificate for William and Alice Hood
Williams father is given as John Walford, in all the relevant censuses his father is given as John Walford
I cannot find a John Westbrook Walford in any of the censuses, I don't think he would drop the Westbrook from his name
My belief is tht someone has linked John Westbrook Walford to William without any supporting evidence and others have copied this data
Thanks
Steve
