One Name Studies: H to M / Heap surname
« on: Monday 14 January 08 09:24 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Sparkle,

I have traced some to Leicestershire also. They are quite a few generations back though. Can you tell me when abouts your son's Heap ancestors were living in Leicestershire?

Hi Mumsie,

I haven't found any Yorkshire or Lancashire Heaps as yet. Thank you for letting me know the derivation of Heap that you found. I like the sound of that origin too. I'm hoping that I can trace the Heap line back to where it should have originated, but that's a long way off yet!

Hi Carol,

My search started in the West Midlands and Staffordshire, and the further back I go leads to Leicestershire from the early 19th century backwards. Have you any ancestors from Leicestershire?

Hi Arkay,

Thank you very much for your reply. That gives me a starting point. I haven't traced my Heap relatives back to Lancashire just yet, maybe further down the line!

Does anyone have any ideas as to where the surname Heap originally comes from? I've always thought that it originated in Lancashire, but have never been sure, and haven't really known where to start researching. As a former Heap, I've always been fascinated in finding out where my line may have started. Are there any other fellow Heaps out there???
