Hi, My Durham roots come from around Bishopwearmouth and around the Hart and Billingham area. The names so far in these areas are; Mordey - b in and around Sedgefield, Durham Stephenson - Hart & Bilingham Chilton - Hart Village Ovington - ? newly found Goodchild - Wearmouth, Whitburn? Bishopwearmouth Is Chilton a place name? Perhaps this surname actually comes from an area or village, it appears in Street names and alike. Many thanks and look forward to hearing from you, Susan p.s. Happy to exchange research or to go along to the Mitchell Library in Glasgow to look for any of your Scottish roots in exchange for someone able to do the same for me in the Durham area. However the Mitchell is due to close in July & August while they resite and renovate their extensive Fam.His. research centre.
