John Fiffield d 1796
John Fiffield who died in 1796 was established in his will as elaborated in my article Standbridge and Standbridge Erles
There are various possible spellings of his family's surname, including Fyfielde, Fyfield, Fifeilde, Fiffielde, Fiffield, FFiffield, FFifeld, Fifield and presumably many others. I have adopted Fifield as the collective name for all the variations.
Fifield Name Meaning
English: habitational name from any of various places called Fifield or Fyfield, of which there are instances in Berkshire, Essex, Oxfordshire, and Wiltshire, all so named from Old English fif ‘five’ + hid ‘hide’. (A hide was a measurement of land area.)
I have attempted to transcribe John Fifield's Last Will and Testament within my article Standbridge and Standbridge Erles. Part of that enabled me to derive some of the family.
