My name is Chris Tuffield, i am related to the tuffield from england. currently i am the three generation of tuffield in australia. my grandfather(arthur) came to australia just before world war 2, with his brother(ron). They where i think 2 of 8/9 childern. there father was in the british army. and they both grew up in india. They where there because of the war. After finish with the army, the family went back to england, however ron and arthur decided to come and settle in australia.

All tuffield in world are apparently link some way. I know almost all the tuffield in the australia. My Uncle Derek has a family tree of the tuffield that goes back a fair way into the history of the tuffield in the world.

if you would like to know more let me know

I am researching our family history and do not have very much on Tuffield.
I will list all the Tuffields I know about earliest first.

Frederick Samuel Tuffield born 1849 in Farnham, Surrey, UK marries Rosa Fanny. They have 3 children:

1 Frederick Charles born ? marries Laura Mary Biddle at Paddock Wood, Kent UK 1914
2 Edith married a Scottishman in Edinburgh
3 Isobel married a Canadian have a son “Bobs” – moved to Canada

Frederick Charles and Laura Mary had 4 sons

1 Frederick Peter Tuffield born 1918 at Eythorne, Kent, died in India in 1945 – suspect there is a “child” in India somewhere
2 Andrew Charles Tuffield born 29 May 1919 at Eythorne, Kent married Barbara Helen Mann in 1944, have 1 daughter Josephine born March 1945
3 John Christopher Tuffield born 1924 at Eythorne, Kent married Mary, John died in 1998 in Cove, Scotland - 2 children, daughter Lois and son, Giles Tuffield born 1953
4 James Paul Tuffield born 1932 at Sevenoaks, Kent, died 1946 at Haveringland, Suffolk

We predict the Tuffield name will die in our family as all offspring are daughters. The only possibility is if Giles Tuffield produces offspring. This does not look likely.

I am the daughter of Josephine Tuffield and have lots of information about Laura Mary Biddle’s genealogy due to a family bible being passed down through the family to me.

Sorry it is so long, but perhaps this may link into whatever information your Uncle may have.

Wonder if we are related

Thanks for your reply. So far we have not found any new information about Grace or Hazel Tuffield. We are possibly related. I forwarded your letter to a relative that is also interested n this information. Grace Tuffield was married to Mr. William Tuffied.
Hazel was her daughter. You can respond directly by emailing to
Lmetheny@webtv.net That's my sister, Lois, Who started this search. Have you read all the info she has about Grace and Hazel?
If not, we can email that to you if you want.
Thanks again for the response.
Write when you can.
Sincerely,

My father is Raymond Tuffield (now residing in Bury, Lancashire) and his father was Stanley Tuffield, both born in Maidstine, Kent, UK.
Stanley was the brother of Harry Tuffield, which my father is certain that could have been the only Harry Tuffield in Maidstone.
It would be good to hear from a distant relative!!

Harry was my Granddad

My dad passed away around 8 years ago. I live in San Diego with my wife Carol and our 9 year old daughter, Jessica. I still keep in touch with some of my cousins from Maidstone and vacinity. Glyn Pritchard (my Aunt Berl's son) lives in Tonbridge Wells. There are other Tuffields that settled in Colorado. We have been in touch for years.

The Tuffield name also reached a dead end with me. My dad had 3 sisters. My wife and I have a daughter (adopted).

Do any of your Tuffield's link in to mine as per the original message - they seem to originate in Kent or East Anglia - my grandfather who is now 84 is Andrew Charles Tuffield and now living in the West Midlands. He remembers all about his grandparents but I am finding if difficult to go back any further.

I would love some information on the Tuffield Family. My father was born in India and we grew up in South London. My fathers name is Terence Charles Tuffield and he is now deceased. I was born in 1959 and I have a brother David Clive Tuffield who was born around 1956 (I think).

Dont know anymore than that unfortunatly.

Arthur Tuffield was my Grand Father who was born in india in 1919 (passed away about 12years ago). his father was a general in the British Army working on the railway in india during WW1 (i think thats right) In the 1940s my grandfather athur and his brother came to Aust to start a new life. The remaining brothers and sisters when back to England. My grandfather had 6 children. One of his children (my uncle) derek has a family tree dating back 200 years of the Tuffield Family. i can email to you if you would like? what is email address? where do you currently live??
