Population in 1801 was 163 and by 1840 had risen to 223. In 1861 the population was 193.〔Coke, Charles A. ''Population gazetteer of England and Wales''. ("History, gazetteer and directory of Suffolk" ). Harrison, 1864, p. 24.〕 In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's ''Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales'' described Blyford like this: Blyford, formerly Blythford, is a parish in Blything district, Suffolk; on the river Blythe, 2½ miles E by S of Halesworth r. station.
