(Resend as original did not arrive at the list) I thought that Judge Jeffreys came from Shropshire but it seems that he was born near Wrexham. Someone told me that he visited Siston Court on his travels. Some years ago I estimated that pre 1800 about 1/3 of the graves in Siston churchyard were JEFFERIS and the early parish registers certainly have more of the surname than any other parish. However I have always doubted any connection between the Judge and the surname in the Bristol area. Chris Jefferies Cheltenham Glos
