    1. [Cork] Names & Alias

    3. Hi Everyone: I have discovered the more you research, the more surprises you encounter! In reviewing Phillimore's marriages for Cornwall, Parish of Saint Just-In-Penwith, 1600s, I came across an entry for "Richard Edy, alias Ustick". There were many entries for Edy and its variations and Ustick and its variations. I have been looking for two Eedy brothers - Jonathan and Nicholas who were supposedly with Cromwell's foot soldiers. Upon further research I have discovered two entries in the Index of Protestation Returns, Liskeard Registration District, Cornwall, 1642 -- one for a John Eade and one for a Nicholas Eustis. [This index is found at www.cornish-ancestors.co.uk/Protestation%20Returns/index_protestation_returns.htm] Further research of the 1659 census for County Cork, notes that a Eustace was recorded in one of the following locations - "Youghal, The Towne of Moyalle, the Barrony of Kinalea". (Individuals are not named, only the "tituladoes" name .) Is anyone familiar with the name Ustice, Eustice, Eustace, especially as a variation of Eedy, Eady, Edy? regards, Susan Eddy Cobourg, Ontario, Canada
