Hello I have a baptism for Owen KENNERLEY, illegitimate son of Lettice KENNERLEY in Astbury in 1816. I was wondering whether OWEN could possibly have been his father's surname, and whether it's worth me trawling to find OWENs in the area, or if it was being used as a first name at this time. Many thanks Jane

Centuries ago, one of the Welshmen involved in border disputes was Owain Glendower, Owen may have been a Christian name before it was a surname.
