Hi Folks,

           I am working on my wife's family tree and came across an unusual name SHOSWOOD, this down the line has many variants, Shorswood Shorswad,  Shorswood, Chooswood and so on, they are all linked down the line  to the latter 1500's.

They seemed to have come up from Berwick upon Tweed and settled in East Lothian, if anyone is looking for this name in their tree just get in touch as I seem to have the whole lot, and I will see if I have a match for you.

The last known one I have moved to Leith and married a man called Knight, on checking the name it may have come the name Sherwood.

Regards.

Archie.
