In Reply to: Re: What does the name AXFORD mean? by William Ian(Scottish John) Axford	of 279

Hi Scottish John!

Thank you for your interesting and informative information about where the Axford name came from. I had no idea that the name came from the different areas in England! I have sent a copy to my grandmother who has always been very interested in her name. So you have made a 88 year old woman very happy!

I am from the Australian branch of the Axfords. My GGgrandfather was Joel Axford who was born in Gwennap, Cornwall in 1836. Joel's parents were John Axford and Ann Vivian. So I am descended from the Cornish side. i would love to hear about anything you may have on the cornish Axfords. Joel was a mining engineer and emigrated to Australia in 1855 probably for the goldrushes.

The family story goes that Joel had a bother emigrate to South or West Australia and a brother emigrate to America at roughly the same time. So anyone that might be related or have information please reply!

Thanks again for your information

Michael Simpson
