Hello Beth,
My name is Robert Radford, and John Chivers was my my 5th great grandfather. I am related to him through my great grandmother Christiana Mary Payne who was the daughter of Harriet Chivers leading to John. I can tell you the following that John was born April 17th  1710 and died on April 17th  1759 which was his 49th birthday. He was married and sadly left behind 10 children according to newspaper reports I have read.

James Chivers was also killed in a mine disaster at 

 I have a public family tree on ancestry.com/DNA which you are welcome to visit and can view all the Chivers family and others related to me and them if you wish. I would like to know about you and how we are related also. Radford Family Tree 
regards, Robert.

Devon / Radford Family DNA Kentisbeare
« on: Tuesday 14 January 20 12:47 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,
My name is Robert Radford and I am interested in any information anyone in the Kentisbeare area that may be a relative or can give me any information concerning the Radfords that lived there in the 1700 and 1800's
I know that many lived and died there but others married and moved away  left to find work elsewhere.
I and my son have a family tree on my ancestry that covers all family members. I visited Kentisbeare one day a few years ago, had a meal in the pub walked round the churchyard and streets and it was great.
 My relatives begin from Richard Radford 1642 father to John Radford  born 1687  father to Isaac Radford 1718 and it goes on  from there at Kentisbeare up until  the last remaining Radfords I am aware of in Kentisbeare during the 1800s who were the brothers Isaac, Abraham, Jacob,William,  and George Radford. Many moved to other areas of Devon and up to Somerset. My great grandfather John Radford whose grandfather was Isaac Radford moved up to Bristol in late 1890s. I am his great grandson now seeking any information anyone has about this family of Radford's of Kentisbeare.
Thank you.
