I've been doing a little research actually and have found some very interesting facts about the surname, "Derifield". According to what I've been digging it actually comes from a few variations of the names, but comes from Normandy originally. First appearing in Sussex, where they held a family seat Pelsham in Peasmarsh in 1107. Later on the family held a seat in London around 1650.
