I've just subscribed today having looked around the archives a few years back. I saw where someone mentioned the Fort on Hadrian's Wall and referred to the name Cilvrnum (Chesters) being the Viking name for Fort. I would like to ask if any one knows any more. Seems to me that as there are other forts on Hadrians wall, with different names, that might not be so. I digress. :-) The purpose of joining this list is that CHESTER is my paternal ancestry where they lived in Scotland. Those born earlier, in Census & certificates are referred to as having been born in Ireland where the name was CHESTERS. Is there any one subscribed here with interests in the same name or with any knowledge of it in Ireland? Janet
