Beryl,

I was interested to come across your post as I have in the past researched this Dewfield MOUNTJOY family. The name Dewfield also often seems to be given as Dunfield - it was some time ago I researched this but think it was census info that indicated as such.

Thomas Dewfield Mountjoy is my Gt. Gt. Gt. Gt. Uncle. Thomas' sister, Annie Dunfield (Dewfield) MOUNTJOY is I believe my Gt. Gt. Gt. Grandmother. She married John PARSONS in 1873 and my Gt Gt Grandmother, Matilda Ann PARSONS was born 13 March 1876. Matilda married Thomas GRIFFIN in 1895 and my Gt Grandmother (one of seven children) was born in 1903. She was christened Alexandra Eliza MOUNTJOY GRIFFIN ... and why the Mountjoy name was included in her name has been a source of much speculation in our family for years. She was the fifth child and the only one with Mountjoy as a given name.

I would love to know if your friend and I have some ancestors in common and whether perhaps they might know more about the MOUNTJOYS.

Would be delighted to hear from you.
