Hi Mike
Thank you for your reply. The family I am trying to locate is surname WALFORD. In particular Albert Walford, born Lydbrook c1844, son of Thomas Walford and possibly Martha. The birth doesn't seem to have been registered as I have been unable to find it within civil registration. The only other thing I can think of is that he had another given name, but used Albert. Albert came to New Zealand in 1875 with his wife and five children, the youngest of whom was my grandfather, Samuel Walford. Samuel had three daughters, so with the death of my mother, his youngest daughter, that particular line has died out here in New Zealand. I do not know if Albert Walford had any brothers or sisters, as none came to New Zealand with his family as far as I know.
Anything else you can dig up will be most welcome.
Thanks again
Carol
