Hi Nesta, If you aren't too fed up with looking, I should be interested to know whether there are any LACKNERs. I know I've got the only ones on GC. Thanks, Jill

Hiya I have a sort of rare surname GAU if you have any info on this name I'd be grateful, my 'branch' came from France in mid 1880s In various censuses (censi?) my family have turned up as GAW,GALL,GAY (much to 2 my sons' embarassment),GAIL,GORE and GAN. I'm sure there are other permutations I haven't even thought of. In return (and it's a fairly paltry offer really), I have booklets of the 1891 ALdershot census and can do lookups for names in that. Best wishes A

Am I too late for the unusual name look-up? I've got the only registration for HYNEMAN/HEYNEMAN (same family, different spellings) at GC. Unfortunately, all known relatives have passed away, but I would be interested if any distant relatives could be found. Thanks for any assistance you can provide, Chris

I hope this offer is still available and you haven't become over- run with requests. I am interested in the POLLEYCUTT. They were around in the late 1800's but I cannot find any recent trace. Any information would be gratefully received. Thanks

Hi Nesta Would you mind looking up Uscroft and Greenley for me. I've got the only Uscroft's on this site and Greenley is fairly unusual. Both names seem to be from the Yorkshire area. Thanks Jeanette Jim I went to school with somebody called Truby

Hi Nesta, If you get a chance - are there many Dipple names on there. Thanks, Maggie

Thanks for the whybrew look up Nesta. There are less than in 1901...we seem to be dying out! The most noticeable thing is the spread around the country being so similar. Maybe we neither breed nor move! Roger
