Hello,

Thank you very much for your message.

Our Beresford family comes from the Fawfieldhead/Longnor area in Staffordshire. We checked and couldn't find any matches with the names you gave. I imagine that we all descend from John de Beresford in 1087. There a re also references in history books to a Thomas Beresford who fought at Agincourt in 1415.

This Thomas is in a stained glass window in the Beresford Chapel at Fenny Bentley Church, 2 miles north of Ashbourne.

I don't know if this information is of assistance.

best wishes
Jim
