Hello May, Try NAPPON, there are several families of this name living in Boarstall in 1851 according to the 1851 census. There ia a James aged 26 and another aged 7, one John but he is 54, I noticed that some of the older holders of the name say they were born in Oxfordshire. I hope this may give you a start, Best wishes Barbara Quick ----- Original Message ----- From: "mayndave" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, July 23, 2004 2:47 PM Subject: [ENG-BUCK] NAPPIN(G) > Dear Listers, > > I am the proud owner of John NAPPIN(G) born c1840 in Boarstall, Bucks. > His father's name was James.
