About The Jones's of Alfrick and the Pettifors of Bickenhill
The JONES FAMILY - BOOTMAKERS FROM ALFRICK
Generations of the Jones family can be traced back to before 1600 in
Alfrick and the surrounding villages in the part of Worcestershire lying near
the Herefordshire border in the shadow of the Malvern Hills. The male line
back as far as 1750 were all bootmakers by trade. Henry, born in 1815 was
probably the most notable, having a flourishing business in Malvern Link which
survived for more than 120 years.Henry was a teetotaller and vegetarian.
Newsticker:
The PETTIFOR FAMILY FROM BICKENHILL
Prior to living in Worcester and Malvern, the Pettifors lived in Birmingham
in the early 1900s after moving from rural Warwickshire. John (Jack) Pettifor
learned his trade as a bricklayer in Bidford on Avon, before moving to
Worcester and then Malvern where he built up a substantial building business.
Recent research indicates the Pettifors came from Northampton before settling
in Warwickshire. John Pettifer b.1780 was convicted of theft in 1800 at
Warwick Assizes and sent to prison.
