Telford Family History
Telford Name Meaning
English (northern): not as its form would imply a habitational name even though there is a place in Shropshire so called but a variant of Telfer assimilated to the pattern of habitational names in -ford. The Shropshire place is a new town named after the celebrated Scottish civil engineer Thomas Telford (1757–1834).
