The main
thrust of my research has been to trace all of the known Pitfield descendants
of Robert Pitfold (
-1586), who is my own earliest proven ancestor. The vast majority
of the Pitfields that I have come across, I have been able to trace
back to one of the sons of Robert. Therefore this database is the
largest of the five shown and is the most complete, with each person listed
related to the others (however distantly!). The Database starts
with John Pytfolde of Allington who is
thought to be the father of Robert
Pitfold of Allington ( -1586). This
Database has its own Index in which you can make a search
for members of the Pitfield family.
It should be pointed
out that if you are looking for a particular member of the Pitfield
family they may not appear in the Database that you expect. For instance,
there are members of the Pitfield family who appear in Australia, New
Zealand and America who I can show are descended from either Robert
Pitfold of Allington or have their origins in Lancashire. Therefore
they are shown in either the Dorset or Lancashire Databases, rather
than the Australian or North American Databases. To find the Pitfield
that you are interested in, you may have to visit more than one Database,
each of which has its own index.
As with all of the
Databases, I am not showing a person sheet for anyone who was born after
the year 1911. This is to protect the privacy of any person who
is living. If you are a member of the Pitfield family accessing
this site (and therefore almost certainly born after 1911!!!), then
your details will not be shown, but it is likely that your ancestors
are, and it is possible that I am in possession of information relating
to you and your family, that is not shown on this site. If you would
like to make contact with me I would
be happy to share information with you.
