Holford/Halford (General)
I am a descendant of John Halford (c1796) and Rachel Lodge (c1796)from Bulley/Tibberton/Taynton/Churcham. I visited the villages and their churches a few weeks ago and was stunned by the beauty of the area.
I'd love to hear from anyone else who is connected to this family.
