Hi All, My family, from Yorkshire, had a penchant for using previous family surnames as Christian and second given names. The name MARKHAM was first used in 1845 with the naming of my G. grandfather GEORGE MARKHAM PORTER. The name has since been in use up until 1940. The use of previous surnames in naming children has been a boon for me in tracing family connections. The one family which I cannot connect to is that of Markham. Does anyone, with Markham connections, have connections with any of the following families, prior to 1840?
