Dear Sarge, I still think your Durmans came from somewhere in the south of England. With the christian names your people had they had to be English. If you are interested I have a list of all the Durmans I have found in that area of the country. Remember me? I was born in Portsmouth, a seaport, and Plymouth, where many other Durmans lived, is also a seaport!
