Good Morning - SARRANTON: PH Reaney's Dictionary of British Surnames does not list this variation but it does list several variations of SARGENT and then several of SARGEANTSON which includes a close match of SARJANTSON (There are others) Try it with an Irish accent? Earliest origin is 1379 Yorkshire Poll Tax Returns with WILLIAM SERGANTSON which implies "Son of Sergant" Kind Regards June & Roy (SANHS Member No 1066) http://www.btinternet.com/~roy.cox/index.htm -----Original Message----- From: Ken Robb [mailto:kwrobb@ispnz.co.nz] Sent: Monday, June 28, 2004 7:10 AM To: OLD-ENGLISH-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [OEL] Alternative names Hi from wintry New Zealand, I do please need some help with a surname in one of the descendants marriages in 1822 in Woodhurst, Huntingdonshire. The Grooms name is on the microfiche as Sarranton, there is no one of that name on the Hunts 1841 census, and trying the IGI no surname same as that same in England. Have tried to think of alternative phonetic spellings but have run out of ideas, can anyone suggest alternatives please.
