Surname Origins
« on: Saturday 07 July 07 22:02 BST (UK) »
Hi All
While doing work on my cousins family i have come across the surname Mirriflees.
Now in conversation with my cousin she said that she thought that her grand mothers family came from Scotland.
Unfortunately her mother was orphaned at an early age and so has no one to ask.
Dose anyone on here any ideas please.
Thank you.
