lol, I saw that, but I generally don't trust those sites

I think the coat of arms is just fake but the history seems interesting

Eveie you have to remember that all surnames in English generally come from a place, an occupation or a parent's name

sure enough, that site has the name originating in Leland, which is where that 1684 baptism was

why don't you trust the opc sites Chrissie. They are as accurate as any other transcribed site

or did you mean you do not trust the coat of arms site (I don't either - but there is usually some grain of truth there)

we cross-posted!

I don't trust 'coat of arms sites', lol, like the one I put the link to in that post that you mentioned in your previous post

I was going to suggest that someone who knows how to work landashire opc have a look since I'm not good at that, and there you had already done it when I looked !

wondered if that was the case given the short time distance between our posts

ok im a terrible writer............. but we cant all be perfect
i aint gonna try to be something i aint lol
we are wat we are like it or lump it..

well, I see you spaced your sentences, so I guess you must be what you ain't ...

it's just a matter of courtesy to the people you are asking for help, isn't it ?


you took the time to type that,

but not to say 'thanks' .............
