Hi,
I have my grandfather, Walter Dunford, born 1885, Enford Wilts who was a baker.. He appears on the 1901 Census with his father John Dunford (1858), mother Lucy Henrietta Whitmarsh (1857), married 3/11/1879 North Newnton Parish Church, Wilts, but that is it. I cannot trace any of the family in any prior census, though have come upon many other Dunfords. This branch of the family all hail from the south of England, Hampshire, Dorset and Wiltshire. Can anyone help.

Researching:
Dunford, Fairclough, Hill, Batten, covering Wiltshire, Hampshire, Dorset and Somerset mostly
