I've managed to trace my Clelford branch back to John, born in Bradford. The family moved to Monkton Combe in Somerset some time about the 1830s. Most of the data below comes from transcriptions of the 1851 census, and I've assumed some entries have been wrongly transcribed, so there is some guesswork here. I've seen many Clelfords in the IGI from Market Lavington, Wiltshire, and I suspect my ancestor ultimately comes from this branch. I've made several visits to Trowbridge, but have been unable to find any records of Clelfords in Bradford. Does anybody else have any more information on this family?
