Hi, my mothers maiden name was Upfold. She is a descendent of John Upfold born 1767 in London, England. He married Elizabeth Upfold (born Bish) at Parish of Thomas Ditton, Surrey on June 10 1817. Chertsey, Surrey, England seems to be a common area or residence for the family.

Possibly Your William Upfold was a relative or even family. Do you know the names of his descendants, possibly it could be the same tree. Let me know and i will check.

Thank you for your question about the Upfold name but unfortunately our research doesn't come up with a John Upfold (1767) who married an Elizabeth Bish. You are right about the Upfolds being a well-known name in the Surrey area!

With regard to William Upfold (c.1742) who married Sarah Street (c.1748), we could only find one son, also called William (1769). We couldn't find any siblings for him after long periods of searching. One of the possibilities was that Sarah may have died after son William was born. As we could only trace Births, Deaths and Marriages off Parish records that were sometimes incomplete in some parishes, we were unable to find any record of Sarah's death at the time of researching.

The son William, married Elizabeth Mower in Cranleigh, Surrey, on 13th November 1792. The couple had eight children, one of whom was our line of descent - John Upfold who married Ann Street.

If this information gives you some ideas for research, let me know.
