John Westbrook Walford
« on: Monday 26 October 20 15:55 GMT (UK) »
I can trace my ancestors to

William Walford
born 1841 Bickford, Staffordshire
died 1918 Staffordshire
spouse Alice Hood b1840 d1920
married 26th Dec 1864
All Saints, Lapley, Staffordshire, England

Trees on Ancestry have his father as John Westbrook Walford, but without any evidence
I suspect this has come from a single tree and not verified

Any thoughts

Thanks in anticipation
Steve

In 1841 William is 4 months old.  Can't find a birth registration for him though.

Looks like Sarah was a Smith?
