Radford Links

[Guy Radford]

I am searching for a link between the Devon Radfords and the Derbyshire Radfords.

I have managed to trace back to a John Radford in 1614 from Smalley, who died at Stainsbury House, Horsley Woodhouse in 1687. He was married to a Grace Parker.

Anything earlier than this seems to be the Devon Radfords. I am wondering when and who moved to Derby?

Any help on this would be gratefully received.
