Demaine, France?
« on: Friday 18 May 18 15:16 BST (UK) »
Hello

I'm pretty certain that my surname is of french origin. There's different spellings, probably through the years it's changed. I know my uncle spells it De maine, but there's also dumaine, or deMaine or demayne. I think mostly demaine. I've gone pretty far back in the family tree. I'm pretty sure that somewhere in the family tree, someone has come over from france. It's not an english surname. I'd love to know if anyone has any information on demaine's living in france or emigrating to england in the 17th century or before.

Thanks!
Demaine, Yates, Williams, Dennell, Ellis, Garner, Bowling, Marsden, Sole, Grant, Backhouse
