The ASHFIELD family tree

 

Grateful thanks to Anthea Ashfield and Ethel Howell for all their hard work in providing the research for this page.The Ashfield family tree originates in Barningham in Suffolk, England. The family moved east into Norfolk towards, Hepworth, South Lopham, Tibbenham, Thelnetham, Winfarthing, Starston, Hoxne and Halesworth. Others went to Oxford, Hampshire, Lancashire, Yorkshire, Kent, London, Berkshire, Australia and Canada.

The surname Ashfield was locational from Ashfield - parishes in Suffolk and also the county of Salop. Early records mention Michael Ashfild 1582 in the county of Oxford.
The following crest is probably from the Midlands as “trefoil” is “3 leaf” and “mullet gules” is “star, red”
The blazon of Arms: argent a trefoil slipped between three mullets gules.

Crest - a plume proper.

There is a Stowlangtoft line which is earlier than this one which is probably connected to this line. 

The Suffolk crest is more like that at http://www.traceit.com/ although “silver bar” doesn’t describe the scalloping of the bar at all.

ASHFIELD Shield: A black background with a horizontal silver bar between three silver fleur de lys.

ASHFIELD Crest: A wolf running.

ASHFIELD motto: None
