You would have to trace both families back.

Do you have reason to believe they are connected?

George bedford born @ 1854 married Mary Jane Jones in 1872 born Basford Nottingham 1872 they had Tom/Thomas bedford 1878 in barnsley.
Tom married Frances Alice Haigh born 1885 in Worsboro Yorks,her parents were George Henry Haigh 1864 son of Fanny Haigh born 1839 she is on 1911 census with Thomas and Frances Bedford.

Connection??
George (William )Bedford 1855 Barnsley.
1871 6,Sumner Street ?
District 10 > 26 Barnsley.

John Bedford 1831 Monk bretton Yorks engine fitter
Mary A Monks Bretton 1834
GEORGE 1855 Barnsley
ALBERT 1862 Barnsley
Priscilla 1867
Samuel 1870.

Maryb

Edit i now think the above maybe wrong.
I have found John Bedford 1831 Monks bretton engine fitter with daughter in law Lucy Ann Bedford nee Lane married 1880 in Barnsley 1861 and her daughter Laura 1882/3.

Lucy Ann was married to his son George born @ 1855,the George I had with son Tom/Thomas married someone else.
So the connection I thought I had found doesn't seem possible.

Te reason I am doing this is because my sister in law has been contacted by a solicitor who told her if she can prove that her husbands father Harry Bedford bn barnsley 1896 was connected to Eileen Loxley bn 1935 Goole parents Matthew Bedford bn 1909 and mary a Crabtree who married June 1938 she might be entitled to some money,

Great stuff,I will search further to see what can be found.

Any more names or clues you can think of.

Maryb
Is Harry the son of Albert 1861 and Mary?
It says he was born 1895.

Mary

Mary Report 26 Oct 2010 16:10

So Mathew 1909 is son of Thomas and Frances nee Haigh,so who did Harry 1895/6 marry.

michael Report 26 Oct 2010 16:22

Yes Harry is the son bn 1896 of Albert and Mary both bn 1862 ,matthew bedford 1909 is son of thomas and frances (nee Haigh).
Harry married or didn't marry a Hilda Rowsby bn 1913/14 had a son Claude Bedford bn 1930

Claude's birth is indexed under 3 surnames suggesting parents weren't married and mother was or had been married previously.
