Can any one help with the alias' of Brecknock/Coltons & Breakwells
« on: Wednesday 01 December 04 18:53 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone help to solve a puzzle?

There was a family of Brecknocks around the Wheathill area of Shropshire that in the late 1600's and early 1700's splintered and changed their names.

The alias' given from the IGI were Colton/Coulton, Breakwell & Cotton amongst others.

I noted from the IGI that there were other families that also gave alias'.

Can anybody come up with any ideas as to what might have caused these family rifts.

I think it would have been too late to be anything to do with the civil war.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
