Nor would it support Sheepford--Shepford, maybe.  We need to be able to
document the actual spelling used in period.

The patterns may be more subtle than you realize.  Knowing Oxford and
Swinford, you can infer a pattern of "large domesticated animal + ford".
There's Hartford too, so it's probably that "large four-legged animal +
ford" is the real pattern.  But that data alone does not justify Snailford
or Treeford or Sunford.
