The Bomfords of Arrow and White Ladies Aston The following trees are the result of Kim Bomford's investigations into christening (c), marriage (m), death (d) and burial (b) records using mainly the resources of www.familyhistoryonline.net and www.familysearch.org (emails 3 Oct 2007).

These Bomfords may have started the story of Oliver Cromwell as it was on the 29th August 1651 that he arrived in White Ladies Aston and spent the night at George Symonds’ very fine old black and white timber manor house (now pulled down); he may have also spent the night before the battle there. On the 30th he moved to the home of Robert Berkeley at Spetckley. The moat house was burnt down just before the battle of Worcester on the 3rd of September, by the Presbyterians, despite the fact that Robert Berkeley shared loyalties to the monarchy.
The Bomfords may or may not have been tenant farmers at this time on either of these estates.
