Duffin family tree


I have traced my direct line back to the marriage of John DUFFIN & Ann BRADFORTH in Howden on 15 Dec 1767.
Their son William DUFFIN married Mary FIELDER in South Cave on 28 Aug 1802. I have traced four sons for this couple,
John born 15 Oct 1804, William born 16 July 1807, Hopher born July 1810, and Fielder born November 1813, all christened in South Cave.

John married Elizabeth BIELBY, c1839, possibly in Nafferton. They had two daughters, Mary Anne born 11 April 1840, and Alice born 9 May 1842, both in Nafferton. Elizabeth passed away and John married Ann CROSBY on 6 Sept 1845 in Nafferton.
