Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Mulford family history? The lineage of the name Mulford begins with the Anglo-Saxon tribes in Britain. It is a result of when they lived in one of the various settlements called Milford in Derbyshire, Hampshire, Wiltshire, and the West Riding of Yorkshire, or in the place called Long Melford in the county of Suffolk. The surname Mulford belongs to the large category of Anglo-Saxon habitation names, which are derived from pre-existing names for towns, villages, parishes, or farmsteads.Only recently has spelling become standardized in the English language. As the English language evolved in the Middle Ages, the spelling of names changed also. The name Mulford has undergone many spelling variations, including Milforde, Milford, Millford, Millforde, Melford and many more. First found in Yorkshire where they held a family seat from very ancient times, as Lords of the manor of Milford, in the diocese of York. This did not appear in the Domesday Book in 1080, and it must be assumed that the manor emerged about the 12th or 13th century. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Mulford research.

Many of those families went on to make significant contributions to the rapidly developing colonies in which they settled.
