I have some Tuffields in my line in Great Missenden in the late 1700s-early 1800s. I've long been puzzled by how few Tuffields I was able to find, but I've just worked out that the name also appears as Tockfield, Tokefield, Tophel, Tophill, Tofil and Tofild - the spelling variations I've found are quite astounding!
Particular pieces of information I'm now looking for are:
- the birth/baptism of John Tuffield/Tockfield around 1760
- his marriage to Ann around 1780
- other children they had - I know about Richard 1786, James 1788, Mary 1791, and Bridget 1794
- marriages and/or deaths of Richard, James, Mary and Bridget
- potential fathers of Bridget Tuffield's three children (Ann 1818, Charles 1822 and Caroline 1827; Ann came to Australia with her husband John Statham in 1848)
- rmarriages and/or deaths of Bridget's children Charles and Caroline
I know there are quite a few Tockfields and Tophels just over the county border in Hertford, within 15 miles of Great Missenden, so I wouldn't be surprised to find a Hertford link.
Any assistance with this troublesome family would be most gratefully received
