Hi David,
Welcome to the UK - although I've no idea from where.
I've tried the email address you've given but got no joy so I guessed the best bet was to reply on here.
Harrop:-
According to the Oxford Names Companion the Surname Harrop is:- 'Habitation name from any of several places in W. Yorkshire or from one in Cheshire.'
I have found none of these places, there is a collection of a few houses in North Lancashire called harrop but I doubt if that would result in such a widespread surname.
In the Library of the Society of Genealogists in London there is a book called 'Extent of the Lordship of Longdendale in 1360'[incidentally transcribed by someone called Harrop] in which there is mention of Adam de Harup living in a village called Mottram in Longdendale which is where all my Harrop's come from (and so do I).
I know on Rootschat most of the Harrops are from the Macclesfield area but there are also quite a number from Mottram-in-Longdendale both places in Cheshire.
I hope you enjoy your stay.
Dot
(now in Sussex)

this is where the cheshire harrops got their name from, I understand it was a place or a woods that had a lot of hares and Rainow boarders Bollington where you will find that there are a few places called Harrop and even a Harrop road, but strangly enough Harrop road was not built buy James Harrop but is a modern road I dont know why they gave it that name perhaps it is near the stream called Harrop that runs through Bollington, there is Harrop fold a B&B that sits in between Rainow and bollington and Harrop hill.

did you know...that there is/was  a Harrup/Harrop village in Yate Yorkshire ? oh and by the way the Harrops in Prestbury have had their lists updated with a lot of new names being found in the family labs and vital records

  not sure where yate is though

I have found no proof that a coat of arms was ever given to a Harrop.
however there are companys that sell you coats of arms for them

I lived in Macclesfield for 10years BUT didn't realise the Harrop name came from near Rainow - there was a good Pub there which did a wonderful Christmas Lunch the Sunday before Christmas with Father Christmas for the Children, my youngest went in his carry cot in 1971 !!!!!!!!!- I didn't realise at that time how many Harrops I had in my Family Tree as I hadn't started researching it.
I am hoping to go to the area later this year - dep-ending on where my son & family settle on the return from Australia.
