Hello all, I have been tracing my family trees for sometime now and with a little help from a chest full of notes left to me by my Great grandfather Guy Rosebery PRIMROSE, have managed to get back to the date of 1411 with the PRIMROSE family and 1500 with the CREMER family PRIMROSE This family also goes under the name PRIMEROSE,PRIMERESE,PRIMROS,PRYMROSE,PRYMEROSE. It starts in Norfolk in a place called South Repps in 1411. I also have a few notes of "The lands of Primrose" in Scotland in the 12th Century. Does anyone know where it actually originated from. Was it France or was it Holland???? CREMER Post 1650 this family is known as CREMER, but pre 1650 it is sometimes known by the alias SCRIME,SKRYME. The family spent most of it's time in NW Norfolk in places like Snettisham and Ingoldisthorpe. They were very wealthy sometimes owning complete villages. The earliest record I have of them is they came from "LECTON, in Norfolk and that was pre 1550. I cannot find any such place. Again where does the surname CREMER and SCRIME originate from???? Can anyone help, any amount would be very welcome.
