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.

Hi Robert. My great-great grandmother was Elizabeth Ann Radford 1831, daughter of Isaac 1808. I have traced the lineage back to Isaac 1718, via Joseph 1785 and Isaac 1749 but unable to confirm his birth or baptism date. He was married in Kentisbeare 1743 to Alice Saunders. Happy to provide the information I have for the ancestors between. All my information has been verified through a lengthy visit to the Exeter Records Office last year. I would love to have any details for Richard Radford 1642 and John Radford 1687.
Kindest regards
Rob Tidbury
