Surnames: calvert Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/WQH.2ACEB/991.1 Message Board Post: HI Neil, I have found my Calverts to be from the Hunslet/Holbeck area. Also the Wortley/Armley area of LEEDS. However, unfortunately i cannot find any recent calverts. The reason being, my great grandad was born out wedlock and recieved his mothers surname so he became Benjamin Calvert Taylor, and then obviously in 1920 he had my grandma as a Taylor. No one seems to know anything about the Calverts, and it seems to be a big secret for some reason?? I have listed my Calverts below, and it would be great to swap info with you as this is quite a coincidence having them in the same area... Maybe they link up somewhere?? Do you have any of these names below?? You can contact me direct at karen.ledger1@ntlworld.com Descendants of John Calvert Generation No. 1 1.
