Hi all
New on here and was only bought to the site by a websearch !
I am of the same bloodline and in Leicestershire uk ! Lebbus wilford was the first of the bloodline  in Leicestershire from what I can find and prior to that there were  few decades of ancestors in Hendidge prior to that London and prior to that the Devonshire wilfords .
I actually grew up very near to the property where Lebbus lived and a relative actually lives and works on the hall/land and country  estate where the original moated property that was his home stood ! The moat is still there but the building was wrecked and in ruins long before my time !!
