Hello.

I am a South London Liffen.

I too found that it was difficult at first but there are some very kind and helpful people on RootsChat.

They have helped me go back a while but sadly my tree has stopped.

Feel free to reply if I can be of any help.

Regards

Henry Liffen
Thank you Henry
I haven't actually started yet.
I do know all my Liffen family stayed around London though. My cousin knows more than me but I will let you know. Could you send me what you have so far and I can tell you if the names link.
Thank you

I am trying to trace the family of one of my ancestors, Elizabeth Liffen.

ELizabeth was born in Norfolk (per 1851 and 1861 census) but moved to London and in 1836 married Samuel Howe. They continued to live in LOndon but their son Samuel, who was born in July 1847, gives his place of birth as Old Catton, Norfolk.

I have previously corresponded with someone at the Old Catton family history society who was unable to find any trace of Samuel or Elizabeth in Old Catton.
However, in the 1841 census there is a Sarah Liffen living in Catton. So I am assuming that SArah was ELizbeth's mother and that ELizabeth was visiting her when her son was born.

I have not been able to establish anything else about the family. I am aware that the LIffen family originated in Norfolk and Suffolk, but this is a new area of research for me. Hence I would be glad of any advice on tracing them further. Even better, contact with someone who has knowledge of this family.
Hi my name is Sarah Liffen and in not sure if your get this message. Slightly confused how this site works . I am from south east London and wondered if there is s connection to our families. Thank you
