Title: TRUELOVE
Post by: RubyW. on Thursday 18 October 12 21:36 BST (UK)

I have this surname that I am having some trouble tracking. The information I have been able to find is:
1. It is a nickname meaning "faithful lover"
2. It was related to some Jewish surnames on a few sites, like "Treweloue", "Torrloff", etc.
3. It is Middle English origin
4. I can trace the line back to Yorkshire, England
no other data

I have found a bride named Trulove in one of my family marriages.

It was a Fleet Prison marriage, though, and I am tentatively assuming that it was an alias, since I can find no other record of such a person ...
