Hi, there are the Terringtons to start with on the same census records as the Walpoles and still living in the area. I was at school in the Kings Lynn area with a Docking, a Walton, Walsinghams and Massinghams ( and Willinghams which is a bit further away in Cambridgeshire), knew some Finchams . I have Guntons and Foulshams in my Swanton Morley family and there were Marshams in the village, my Great Grandfather was a Woodrow ( possibly derived from Woodrow near Cawston ) and fostered by some Harpleys. I worked with a Bayfield and one of the family is currently married to a Causton. I suppose few of these lived much more than 20 miles from the villages as the crow flies, if that. But please no jokes about Norfolk as favoured by the current batch of TV comedians, I like to think that my ancestors had good strong legs for finding a partner from a few villages away. ( even if Southery tests this to breaking point) An interesting thought is why some villages do not appear to have originated names whilst others did-perhaps there were so few from some villages that the name died out. I have seen a paper in a Norfolk archaeology publication on Norfolk place names as surnames as found in London in I think the 14th Century.

Of course there is the possibility that some villages were named after people! Which came first? The Village or the name?

Many of the -ings and -hams were named after people I think, usually Anglo Saxons or Danes, same as places like Catfield which was Cettis field or something like that, but the surnames for the plebs amongst us are meant to be later, sort of 11th century because of the disruptions of 1066 and all that. A chap my husband I were friends with in our school days, James Rye, wrote a nice book on Norfolk place names, must put it on my Xmas list Rosie On 04/12/2011 00:34, David Mills wrote: > Of course there is the possibility that some villages were named after > people! > > Which came first?
