A little while ago someone was asking about the name CHRISTMAS. While transcribing the Surrey villages we came upon a place called Christmas Pie!! This it seems was named after a farm caled Christmas Farm or a farmer called Christmas. Apparently this is a common West Surrey name so it may pay to check records in Surrey! Just a piece of trivia that may help!! Wonder if he had a daughter called Mary? Chris and Caroline --- All of our Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Hi Chris & Caroline, I believe you were referring to my request for information on William Jerimiah Christmas and family. My search was focused in the East Meon, Hampshire area, but I was having little luck locating family members. I will certainly take a look at the Surrey villages for any new clues. Thank you for the new information.

I assume you have been in contact with Brian Christmas, who has been conducting a one-name study of the surname Christmas for twenty years or so. He is in the Register of One-Name Studies on the GOONS site http://www.one-name.org/ Alan McGowan ----- Original Message ----- From: "l.marcotte" <l.marcotte@attbi.com> To: <HAMPSHIRE-LIFE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, February 02, 2003 12:46 AM Subject: RE: [HantsLife] CHRISTMAS (the name not the occassion!)
