To whom it may concern:
I am doing genealogy research for my family about my ancestors in Maine. I am specifically looking for Hannaford relatives because I know so little about my mother's side of the family.
The only direct links to my Hannafords are that I have are William Elbert Hannaford who was born at Skowhegan, Maine,
January 29, 1867, the son of Dr. Albert and Matilda (Andrews) Hannaford. William Hannaford was later married to Letta Deming and he was a newspaper editor
for the Minnesota Enterprise in Virginia MN. They had a son, Elbert Irvin Hannaford Sr., who was my grandfather.
If you know of any Hannaford relatives that are related, I would appreciate any
information. Thank you.

Hello Anne,

My father is Robert William Hannaford, son of Demming Hannaford (brother of Elbert Hannaford) and Alma Barnard, son of William E Hannaford and Letta Demming, son of Dr. Albert Hannaford and Matilda Andrews.

So apparently our grandfathers were brothers.

Contact me by email if you would like.

Able Seaman Allan C S Hannaford

penrithmisterminit — 2012-03-01 23:23:59Z

Looking for anyone that may have a link or information on Able Seaman Allan Charles Samuel Hannaford. He married my grandmother in 1947 whilst in Australia aboard the HMS. Vengeance. He may of been using a variant of his real name. His child is my Aunt who was never aware of him. Its believed they seperated or he just disappeared. Someone must know who he is. Any information will be very helpful.

I'm a descendant of this family. I was reading my Dad's manuscript based on Roger Hannaford's diaries, and did a quick online search. Your post came up. Reading about Roger's sons (7 in all . . . John William, Roger Jr., Samuel, Joseph Northcott, Ebenezer, Edwin Augustus, and Robert Hamlyn) preparing for service in 1861. What a harrowing time.

Anyway, it's nice to see your post!

Re: Hannaford`s Wharf

RobynFitzGerald — 2011-10-22 10:11:09Z

Hi Stephen. I am descended from the Hannafords of Coromandel, New Zealand and we still own some land adjacent to Hannaford's Wharf. My ancestor was James Thomas Browne Hannaford (Thomas) who arrived in NZ from London in 1858/1859. His family was from Brixham in Devon so I'd say it was highly likely that we are related. His siblings were: William, Catherine, Susanna & John and his parents were John & Grace (nee Milman) Hannaford. I know that John & Grace were married in Brixham on 4/11/1814 & that Grace was born in 1795 in Devon but I don't know where or when John was born yet.

Thomas had at least 3 children from his first marriage to Ann Jarvis- Edith, Ellen & Mary. He then married another Anne who was born in New Zealand & they had about 6 more children including my grandfather, Frederick Hannaford. The Coromandel property belonged to Frederick's wife Olive Campbell's family who had owned the land since 1837 so the Wharf was really named after my grand mother Olive Hannaford who continued to live there for another 20 years after Frederick's death in 1959. The wharf would have been built in the 1990s.
Which Hannaford are you descended from? I would love to hear all about your side of the family.

Do you have any ancestors from Abbotskerswell? My grandfather was Arthur Mews Hannaford, his parents were Peter Allen Hannaford and Sarah Susannah Mews. Would like to hear from any relatives.

Re: Hannaford`s Wharf

stephencallicott — 2011-09-06 04:36:34Z

Hi Robyn,
Good to hear from you.

Not sure how we are related as can`t tie the people you mentioned into my tree. Probably need to go back further as there are so many Hannafords.

My mothers mother was a Hannaford and the family still owns a butchers shop in Torcross, South Devon. They came from Salcombe where there are a lot of Hannafords, many of whom were fishermen and sailers.

If you are able to view my tree you can see that that part of the family can be traced back a long way through different branches.

I haven`t subscribed to Ancestry for a while as seemed to have gone as far as I could. So I can`t view your tree to compare it.

Also I think there is a museum at Salcombe which may hold more info.

Hope this has been a help.

Re: Catharine Easterbrook Bastow Lidstone

ukennedy — 2011-07-29 01:50:36Z

Catharine Easterbrook Bastow Lidstone (born about 1815 in Buckfastleigh, Devon). She may have moved to Seneca Falls, New York to be close to Mathew Easterbrook (her second cousin -once removed), who settled there about 1832.

Mathew and his first wife, Mary Tolchard, immigrated to Canada first, and then to Seneca Falls and Geneva, NY. After Mary Tolchard's death. Mathew married Mary Williams and then Jane Owens. Mathew died in 1869 and was buried in the Washington Cemetery, Geneva, Ontario Co., New York, USA

Mrs. A.Hannaford, Photographer, Ashburton, Devon

rvnichols1 — 2011-07-29 01:49:23Z

In researching my wife's mother's family (Lidstone from Buckfastleigh, Devon), I found three postcards from Mrs Hannaford, two of which bear her stamp as a photographer. Her given address was 8 Vealania Terrace, Ashburton.

I don't know anything about this person. May have been a friend of the family or may even have been a relative. The postcards have no addressee or postage stamp/date and appear to have been sent in an envelope. One is the town of Ashburton and the others are the WWI war memorials in Ashburton and Buckfastleigh, each unveiled in 1920.

Thomas Lidstone, b. 1818 Buckfastleigh, came to the US abt 1868 with his wife Catherine Bastow (nee Easterbrook) and their three sons - Thomas, James and Eli. Mrs Hannaford probably sent the postcards to this family.

I would greatly appreciate any information anyone might have to clear up this particular puzzle.

Re: Mrs. A.Hannaford, Photographer, Ashburton, Devon

peteashburton15 — 2011-07-27 15:15:04Z

Mrs A Hannaford was Amy Satterley/Hannaford/White a local photographer who earned a living as such 1900 - 1925/30. She moved back to Ashburton from Kingsbridge when her husband died. She then lived with her father in Vealenia Terrace (not no 8 as there are only 4 in the row). She later re-married Mr White & carried on her photography. Unknown of a connection to Lidstone family

John and Mary HANNAFORD - TorQuay, Devon, England

donaldpartridge — 2011-04-04 17:23:15Z

In the Census of England, for 1861, TorQuay, Newton Abbot, we find a John Hannaford, age 54, his wife, Mary, age 56, and four children: Elizabeth Ann Hannaford, age 22, Robert Hannaford, age 17; James H. Hannaford, age 14 and Alfred Hannaford, age 10, born East Allington, Devon, England; as well as two boarders, Robert Miller, age 59; and William Nanamon, age 23.
Robert Hannaford marries Elizabeth Ann Pope b. 1845 in Paignton, Devon, England, who is the daughter of William POPE and Elizabeth NARCAMORE. In 1870, with brother, Alfred Hannaford, they migrate to Ontario, Canada. Following short stays in Toronto and Burlington, the brothers purchase and settle on both sides of a duplex at 230 & 232 Robinson Street in Hamilton and operate a Plastering business which lasts a hundred years.

Family Lore speaks of a Lavinia Hannaford, daughter of Robert Hannaford and Elizabeth Ann Pope, who did not migrate until she was 21 years old.

If anyone has additional information on John and Mary Hannaford, Elizabeth Ann Hannaford, James H. Hannaford, or other family members, I would be very much appreciate your sharing such information and would welcome suggestions for further research.

For your information, Alfred Hannaford was my Great-Grandfather.

Jim is your second cousin as you share a great grandfather, James Hannaford-Hill. I have your parents in my tree so have added you now. Jim thinks he remembers you being here. I have recently connected with someone in Toronto and someone in Hamilton who descend from George and Irene. I sent you a private message I think. I will try again. Keep an eye for it as it has my email. It is 2pm here so you will not yet have gone to bed in England! I am REALLY looking forward to sharing info with you.

Re: Hannaford - Hill Family

janeli_1 — 2011-02-25 15:34:27Z

George Hannaford and Irene Hill are my husband's 2x great grandparents. Their son James Grant Hannaford Hill had a daughter Laura Emily Hannaford Hill who emigrated to Canada where she married James Child and then settled in Galt, Ontario.
I pick up my information mainly from internet (as I live in Canada). There are almost no remaining family records here. I recognize I can not simply copy someone else's tree but often use it as a starting point before looking for original records. A marriage date of 1843 Stoke Gabriel is noted by some but I can not verify it. The 1871 census states he is a boarder so a marriage could not have taken place in 1843. Various people have various numbers of children. I believe I am correct having found 11 in census records. (There could have been a birth and death after Ellen Louisa)
Because spellings vary: Hannaford-Hill, Hannaford Hill, H Hill, Hamford, sometimes by transcription error, and sometimes for convenience, it makes long distance searching quite a challenge.
Sorry for the lengthy preamble but I wanted to show I have done considerable research before I ask my question.

The 1871 census records lists 2 grandsons, William Hill born 1864 and George Hill born 1867 both Stoke Gabriel. Some people give their names as Hannaford Hill. That record has Hamford Hill, as well a a couple H Hill. I can not find anywhere to whom these boys belong. I wonder if they could be Ellen Louisa's illegitimate sons but I can not find them after 1871.

They were orphaned quite young but I a lot of information on the family. Check the Hannaford line in my family tree if you can access it. Regards,Kevin

Edith Towell Hannaford

donaldpartridge — 2010-08-01 22:08:11Z

The following funeral card was found in the Hannaford Family Bible. The funeral card states:
Edith Towell Hannaford / who died November 26th, 1887. / Aged 19 years / Buried St. Mary Church

No other mention of her is made in the record of births, deaths or marriages. The Family Bible records the Hamilton, Ontario, Canada family of Arthur Hannaford b. Tor-quay, Devon England, UK m. Caroline Cornell in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in 1872 moved to Burlington, then Hamilton. His second wife was Mary Smith b. Stowaway, Inner Hebrides, Scotland, UK They lived in Hamilton and are buried in Hamilton Cemetery, 777 York St.

I see nothing in the Census of Canada for 1881.

Re: Hannaford in PA

rvnichols1 — 2010-02-04 22:17:50Z

Teresa,
You said your Hannafords settled in Pennsylvania. I'm trying to solve a Hannaford-related puzzle. My wife's ancestors (Lidstone) came from Buckfastleigh, Devonshire about 1865-68 and settled in the Philadelphia area by 1880. A collection of old documents includes postcards of Ashburton, Devon and war memorials in Ashburton & Buckfastleigh. Two of those bear the stamp "Mrs A Hannaford, Photographer" in Ashburton. They were apparently sent in an envelope - no postmark or mailing address.

Could there be a connection here to your Hannafords? Please reply to rvnichols@att.net
Thanks for your help.

Re: Robert Hannaford - b. 1773

vwwithers1619 — 2010-02-04 22:09:50Z

Yes, this is my relative, however, his son John did not die in 1864. I've found him in the 1870 census for Carmi, White County, Illinois and in 1880 in Burnt Prairie, White County, Illinois. Might it be Mrs. John Hannaford, his wife, who died in 1864? She (Ann) is on the 1860 census, but John is married to Martha by 1870. Do you know what ship they (John and Ann) came to the U.S. on or what port they arrived at?

I appreciate your help!

My g-g-g-grandfather's name was Robert Hannaford and he lived in Devon. His son, John Hannaford, married Ann Townsend in 1844 in Devon, Widdecombe-in-the-Moor and moved to the United States before 1850, since John and Ann Hannaford are listed in the 1850 Ohio census.

Are we related?

Dear Mr. Hannaford--I only have a little info. My great-great grandfather was William Henry Hannford, born approx. 1857 in England. Came to America in 1869 with his parents, I don't know their names. I do have the names of his children. His father mother settled in Illionis, and he later married there, and moved to Oklahoma and worked for the railroad. I have this info. from a 1920 Okla. Census. This is all I have, if I can help you get started searching let me know. I searched the web, census records, funeral records, death certificates, etc. I know how hard it is to get started. Good Luck !!!

I have more Hannaford descendant information if you are interested. Gary Pollock

Re: New Hampshire Hannafords

2010-02-04 21:59:17Z

The earliest Hannafords I have found so far in New Hampshire are:
John Honeyford
Hannah Robinson
1. Zachariah 1711
2. John 1712
3. Thomas 1718
4. Abigail 1719
5. Elizabeth 1721
6. Sarah 1725
7. Anna 1728
8. Mary 1729

The couple had at least these 8 children and lived in the Stratham, Exeter,Bow, New Hampshire area. Zachariah born in 1711 may be the same Zachariah Hannaford married to Mary Greely. This couple was from Haverhill, Mass and Stratham, New Hampshire. The other early Hannafords: John Hannaford and Abigail Norris were from the Canterbury, New Hampshire area. Of interest, the children of these three early Hannaford families are all nearly the same.

I have found good geneology info in town histories. For instance, the History of Rindge has John Hannaford and Margaret ? my early ancestors that I am trying to trace. The history of Northfield has John Hannaford and Cordelia Russell with their son Amos C. born in 1797. I havent been able to search any of the other town histories. I think John and Hannah may be the roots of the New Hampshire clan however. The hard part is that each family usually had about ten children and they tended to use the same names over and over.

Re: New Hampshire Hannafords

2010-02-04 21:58:55Z

Thank you, Charles. It is confusing. It is also ironic that we seem to be hitting a dead end in New Hampshire. I am new to this. Is it helpful to get the histories of the towns where these people lived? Is there a birth record in these towns?

Re: Amos Hannaford -- related to John Hannaford ??

CHannaford4823 — 2010-02-04 21:58:29Z

I have been struggling to research my most distant ancestor, John Hannaford from Rindge, New Hampshire for many years now. According to Stearns History of Ringe, John was removed from Marlboro, Mass. and was married to Margaret.. ? (maiden name unknown). I assume that John was born in the 1740s-1750s. They had at least two sons John and James, I trace my heritage through James.

I know that there are quite a few earlier Hannafords in New Hampshire, but I have not been able to link them.

You may have seen the following:
Zachariah Hannaford
b. ca. 1712
m. 2 oct. 1732
Mary Greeley
b. 17 Nov 1714

1. Mary B. 1733
2. Benjamin 1735
3. Abigail 1737
4. Mariam B. 1739
5. Zachariah 1742
6. Anna 1744
7. Joseph 1746-1749
8. Elizabeth b.1750
9. Joseph B. 1753
10. John B. 1757-1762
11. Thomas 1759
12. David 1761
13. Sarah 1763

Another early Hannaford in the New Hampshire area is:

John Hannaford
1725
Abigail Norris
1729

1. Zachariah
2. John
3. Thomas
4. Abigail Smith
5. Elizabeth Smith
6. Sarah Coolbroth
8. Mary Palmer
9. David
10 Peter b. ca. 1725

Yet another early new hampshire Hannaford:

John Hannaford
Hannah Robinson

1. Zachariah 1711
2. David 1716
3. Thomas 1718
4. Sarah 1725

I am uncertain how these New Hampshire Hannafords are related to early Maine Hannafords:

Richard Hannaford
Miriam ?
1. Sarah 1671
2. Miriam 1673
3. Mary
4. Richard 1679
5.William 1682
6. Elizabeth 1669
7. Henry 1684 died young
8. Samuel 1884 died young
9.Ebenezer 1687

There is also the early Hannaford in Boston, Mass:

Capt. John Hannaford
Hannah
1. Samuel 1645
2. John 1648-1652
3. Hannah 1650
4. Josepph 1652
5. John ?
Married 2nd
Abigail (Hands) Dill
Sarah 1656
Abigail 1660

There is also the early Mass.
Thomas Hanaford
Mary Ince
1. Theophilus 1662
2. Mary 1663
3. Hannah 1665
4. Elizabeth 1666/7
5. Thomas 1668
6. Eleazor 1670
7. Elnathon 1672
8. Samuel 1674
9.Eunice 1676
10.Sarah 1678

I have not been able to connect the New Hampshire Hannafords with these other early Hannafords from Maine, and Mass., although the Hannafords seem to come from Devon, England.

I assume that Amos is probably related somehow to my ancestor John from Rindge and Northfield, but it is defenitly a confusing puzzle.

Re: Amos Hannaford

2010-02-04 21:57:31Z

Thank you for the data on Amos C Hannaford. Unfortunately, the Amos Hannaford I am trying to trace supposedly was born on January 13, 1766 (place of birth unknown to me) and lived in Canterbury, NH. He was apparently married to a Ruth Durgin in 1796 and then to a Sarah Foss on August 12, 1810. My line traces from one of Amos' sons, a Reuben Morrill Hannaford, who moved east to Solon, Ohio, dying in Cleveland in 1884. I am trying to find out more about the Canterbury Amos and his predecessors.

It may be noteworthy, however, that Amos' first wife Ruth Durgin died 3/12/1805 in Northfield, NH, Northfield being the place of birth of the Amos C. Hannaford you had traced....

Can you make anything of all of this?

Thanks!

I am looking for early Hannafords in New Hampshire, specifically the roots of Amos Hannaford, b. 1/3/1766. Amos had at least one son, Reuben Morrill (Morrell?) Hannaford, b. May 1 1800 in Canterbury, NH who emigrated to Cleveland, Ohio.
