    3. When I started researches into my Gibbon families many years ago I made notes and they are rather haphazard, I have to admit, but I am posting this bit because it may help my years of trying to find out where my Gibbons came from. So further to the comments about the names of Scurlock and Scurlage I have a note that Scurlage Castle later became known as Trecastle. Isn't this the present day name? My notes say that Scurlage Castle was inherited by the Gibbon family from Sir Herbert Scurlage of Norman origin and from Sir Richard de Clare about 1250. It was near Llandewi in Gowerland. The notes were taken from "Morganiae Archeographia" by Rees Meyrick (or Mireke) 1578. This family of Gibbon seems to be connected to the Dr. John Gibbon who built St. Fagan's where the name Trecastle is used. There were a lot of Gibbons in that area after that. But there were Scurlocks in Pembrokeshire, too, so there must be a connection I would have thought. Does any of this make sense to anyone? Vera
