I am Helen Berisford Stewart and I have been to England sev
eral times tracing the Beresford roots and I found that Tho
mas Beresford and Agnes Hassall had twenty-one children. Th
ey had sixteen sons and five daughters. Thomas and Agnes ar
e entombed in a church in Fentley Bentley. My husband an
d I attended the Beresford International Gathering in Buxto
n, England. I learned anyone with the Beresford name no mat
ter how it is spelled is a descendant of Thomas and Agnes B
eresford. I visited the church where my g-g-g grandparent
s were married in 1797 in Hartington, England, also found t
he church in Alstonefield where my g-g grandfather was bapt
ized. I never was able to find the names of Francis Beresfo
rd parents or Hannah Fogg Millington parents, but I plan t
o continue researching my roots. I met so many fine Beresfo
rds when I was in England. One couple visited us here in Co
lorado last summer for two weeks.
My husband and I hope to return to England sometime.
Sincerely,
Helen Berisford Stewart
