I was just cross checking since I had not thought both were called Sheriff. > > Brayley was wrong - Hamo the sheriff in Domesday book was son of Hamo dentatus of Creully & Torigny. He was not the same as Hamo de Valeines, a Breton, who also occurs in 1086, and the latter's surname was not the same as the Norman Valoines - see Keats-Rohan, *Domesday People* pp. 242-243: 'Domesday Book carefully distinguishes the orthography of Hamo's toponym from that of Peter de Valognes. Despite the subsequent approximation of the orthography of his descendants' name to that of de Valognes, there should be no grounds for confusion between two distinct places.' > > Peter Stewart > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
