Matt Earlier you asked if it could be shown that descendants took the alias name. Difficult, since we're dealing with common surnames like Baker and Butcher. But here's one that might fit the bill, though it's not exact. Below is a list of appearances in CP of a man first called Ryche, then Riche alias Kelhog, then just Kellog (with variants). In the 1490s he, as Thomas senior, appears in a case together with Thomas Kellog junior, probably his son. They are usually called husbandman, but I suppose a Kylhog or butcher would probably work at that only part of the year and would be a husbandman the rest of the time. In the same area of Cambs and northern Essex there continued to be people variosuly called Kellog or Riche alias Kellog until the 1550s at least. Riche alias Kellogg must be descendants and Kellogg might be. Vance Thomas Ryche alias Kellog, senior, of Lynton, Cams, husbandman 1469 Trinity Cams.

I'm not sure Kill-hog is necessarily an occupational by-name for a husbandman, though. It would be more apt to a butcher, I'd have thought. If it was descriptive of Thomas senior I think it is perhaps more likely to have been a nickname-type by-name - but I wonder whether we can be sure it wasn't the pre-existing hereditary surname of a family to which Thomas was somehow linked, whether through bastardy or some other connection?
