The Earle & Welford Families of Yorkshire, England 1268 - 1911
The Earle & Welford Families       of Yorkshire, England               1268 - 1911

Welford Family of Crathorne

Note
 
This section begins with the family of John Welford and his wife Margaret who resided at Redworth and from whom I have linked the Crathorne Welfords via a younger son, Alexander Welford. Following discovery of the last will and testament for John Welfet dated 1567 it would appear the link of Alexander to this family is incorrect as probate of the will was granted prior to the birth of Alexander if the Quarter Session records are to be believed meaning John could not be the father
 
It seems this branch of Welfords are deserving of their own section which will be undertaken in due course. It also leaves the question of Alexander Welford's parentage to ascertain

Crathorne

At Crathorne, and also at Hilton, fully a century before any mention of the name of any member of the Crathorne family occurs, the family of Welford, in the humbler walks of life, was evidently settled, and still, to this day, are members of and living at Crathorne and Hilton. All through the middle ages their names are recorded as witnesses to deeds, sometimes spelt Wellfoot, Wellfoort, or Welford. During the reign of Queen Elizabeth they are now and then returned as "recusants," for not having adopted the reformed religion; and they still adhere to the Catholic church

Report on the accidental death of Sister Alice Welford

 

The Matron and 12 of the members of the female nursing staff of 65 General Hospital, were invited by the Officer Commanding Beit Naana Officers’ Hospital to spend the afternoon of 15th January 1918 at his unit, to meet his convalescent officers and have tea. They were transported by motor launch, but on the return journey they were involved in a collision at Basra, shortly after sunset, between a Steam Tug and the Motor Launch containing the party of Nurses

Four members of the nursing staff, Sister Florence D`Oyly COMPTON, Sister Alice WELFORD, Sister TINDALL and Florence Mary FAITHFULL, V.A.D. died. Miss Tindall’s body was recovered around the time of the accident, her cause of death being suffocation by submersion and skull fracture while the other three were reported missing, presumed drowned

 

The body of Florence Compton was found on 29th January, and buried the same afternoon. The result of the Court of Enquiry was accidental death, due to an error of judgement on the part of the steersman of the launch
