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. Jan Robb....N.Z.

Of course, he need not stay in Hunts - but if there is really no instance of the name, then consider a misread of S for L, very common or S for C, moderatly common.. or a Yarranton, name found. -- Eve McLaughlin Author of the McLaughlin Guides for family historians Secretary Bucks Genealogical Society
