Title: FRECKNALL (FRICKNALL, FRIGNALL...), All
Post by: Alexander. on Thursday 29 April 10 02:21 BST (UK)

Is anyone researching the rather rare surname FRECKNALL or any of its many variants? Earlier records show it as FRICKNALL, FRIGNALL, FRACKNALL, etc.

Most Frecknalls originated in the Nottinghamshire-Derbyshire-Lincolnshire area. Though in the nineteenth century Frecknalls spread south to Hampshire, Northampton, London, etc., I have shown that these all are descended from Frignalls in Caunton, Nottinghamshire.

There is perhaps a link (though unconfirmed) the ancient family of FRECHEVILLE/FRECHENVILLE of Stavely, Derbyshire.

Anyone with a Frecknall on their tree, please get in touch!  :)
