Christmas and Picknell
« on: Sunday 04 April 04 16:10 BST (UK) »
My fathers family came from Sussex and the Welsh borders. His mothers name was Rhoda Christmas, and his fathers name was Picknell. I know my grandmothers father was Master of Hounds, I'd like to find out how to pursue research into both families.

Hi vivi

I am aware that there are several recorded instances of the surname Christmas / Chrismas in Hastings.

If you give me a few forenames and dates, then I will see what I can find for you

That's a shame. My Chrismas line is of the greatest interest to me. Maybe someone else will see it and be able to help/share information
