Hello all, I have these names in my family, all from Yorkshire, and am wondering about their origins and meanings. I have heard that MEDFORTH is a name peculiar to the East Yorkshire area near Hull, Patrington, and Easington on the North Sea. Any validity that the name originated there? And what of BEANLAND and WAITES? I would love to know more about the names or find some sites that can give me information. Thank you in advance for any help.
