The history of
the Cranford Family goes back to the ancient Anglo-Saxon culture
of Britain. It is derived from the family living in the
parish of Cranfield, in the county of Bedford.
Spelling variations of this family name include: Cranfield,
Cranefield and others.
First found in Bedfordshire where they were seated from very
ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the
arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A. D. |
