Ragsdell family
« on: Friday 03 June 05 23:31 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I've decided to start a one name study for the surname RAGSDELL(not Ragsdale).
They seem to have lived in Lincolnshire from the mid 19th century,and before that in Northants(where a lot of them stayed),especially in Oundle,and the Thorpe Achurch area.I've also seen this surname in London and Kent.
This spelling is appently quite rare.In 2001 there were just 25 occurences of it.(I think I knew 80% of them personally!).Very occasionally it was mispelt as Ragsdall.
Any help on finding the owners of this surname thoughout the years and their whereabouts would be very much appreciated,
Trisha :) :) :) :) :)

N.B Just realised,a few went to Bradford and the West riding area in the mid 19th century and are still there as far as I know.
Nottinghamshire: Pacey Hoe Hubbard Taylor,Plumber,Ownsworth,Harvey
Lincolnshire: Pacey Ragsdell Trafford Skelton Norton Lincoln Chester Smith Gilbert Palmer Rawding Baggerley Pask Welch Wright Green Clarke Dawson Grey Johnson Burton Wright Scargall Day.
Bedfordshire: Timms Virgin Hallsworth Kirby Osborn Basset Nixson Harding Odell Clark Thompson.
Northamptonshire: Ragsdell Waller Coales Breem Peak Wallet. Drake.
Norfolk: Palmer Howard Harpely Codling Mark
