I have for sometime been tracing my ancestors. My forefathers came from Upton-upon-Severn. I would like to appeal through your paper for any descendants to make contact with me.

William (1821-1902) and Sarah Hayfield (1823-1905) had thirteen children. They were Edward Oakley Hayfield (1845) Emma (1845); John (1847); John Oakley Hayfield (1849); William (1850); Caroline Susan (1852); Jane (1857); Sarah Ann (1857-1908); Richard (1859-1938); Rebecca (1861); Mary (1861); Letitia (1863); and Fanny (1866).

I am interested in the descendants of John Oakley Hayfield. I know that he took over his father's shop at 27, Old Street, Upton, and that he was a shoemaker. I also believe that he married Agnes and they had children possibly named John Oakley and a Caroline Hayfield. This second John married Mary Ellen and once again they had a John Oakley Hayfield, this John married Valerie Orion, and this is where my trail ends.

If there are any descendants of the Hayfield family would you please contact me.
