A number of years ago I researched the Trayford name which became a one name study.

I probably don't have the most recent lines but I have transcribed Blatherwycke Baptisms and did go through the Parish Registers. I placed that transcription on FreeReg.

My tree is extensive. My link starts with Florence Trayford Coles my maternal grandmother born 1890 in Kings Cliffe.Nths.
She later moved to Sheffield with her new husband.
I have John Trayford (Traphat) baptised Richmansworth, Herts. 1677. He was in Blatherwycke at the time of his marriage to Sarah Scott in 1706.

If I can help please let me know. My tree is on Ancestry or FindMyPast.

CATHERINE TRAYFORD 25 HARLOT born in Northamptonshire as they all were.

Hi Elaine
Nice to hear from you again, you helped me a lot when I started my complicated research of this branch of my family.  That 1851 census was a godsend - my great grandmother (Catherine's granddaughter) was married under the name Alice Louisa Bell Trayfield... even though her birth surname had been registered as Bell in the Morley area.

I had no knowledge at that time to a connection to Northamptonshire and it perplexed me at the time when the only Trayfields I could find at that time was that 1851 census and after a lot of cross checking, I realised the B in the children's names stood for Bell.  My great grandfather George Henry B Trayford ended up in Morley (nr Leeds) along with his sisters Caroline and Georgina/Georgiana and at a later date his mother Catherine herself.

It seems Brigstock and the surrounding area was a hotbed of illegitimacy.  Catherine's daughter Caroline married at Joseph Starsmore in Morley (although he too was from Northamptonshire), he was born to two illegitimate parents and changed his names so often it was mind boggling

Regards
Karen

I had forgotten we had been in touch. LOL Old age.LOL.

I think I may have mentioned before that my husband came from Boston Spa and went to school in Leeds. He worked there (teacher) for a couple of year after we married. We came to Ottawa in 1967. A long time ago now.

If you check FreeReg out you will see the transcription I did for Blatherwycke where many of our clan were born.

If you could keep my e-mail addy around and if I can help at any time contact me that way please.

Have fun

Elaine.
