[Grothenwell]

Got my first Smith today marrying a Still in 1756, but it was by finding a tree chart from an anonymous donor to my local FHS, which got my Still line at 1760 back to circa 1600, so that was all right
wish I knew who had handed it in to thank them though.

Not exactly in my tree but the witnesses to my g,g,grandparent's marriage in 1847 are recorded on the certificate as 'Emanuel Okle and Margaret Okle'.  Both had "made their mark".  Further research has shown that their surname was 'Oakhill'.

I suppose it works when spoken with a Gloucestershire accent!

Sue, you can cut out words in most search engines by inserting a 'minus' for example
Steph.

Any Idea how to search for the Surname "Still" without getting all the still as in remaining the same

Try John Still - e.g. the name James Christopher John Still appears

[Grothenwell]

Thanks anyway Zelley,

But without middle names (or even with I suppose); "Alexander Still" stillcomes up with "Alexander still wanted to do family research" etc

Still trying though ,

PassionPlay, Try filtering my maternal Gma's maiden surname in this computer age - yes, it is HACKING!

[wheeldon]

I have two cousins called Willshaw - on one birth cert it's Wilshaw and and on her sisters it's Willshaw - the family still can't decide which is the correct way of spelling it.  I've researched my family back to 1760 and none of my ancestors could decide either!

I also have Moffatt/Mofatt/mofat/ Moffitt/ moffet and it just goes on and on and on.  I was in contact with one lady and her Moffatt name had been changed to Muffin over the years.  I'm going to go back to researching this line when I'm more mentally stable.

I only have a few(so far!)

Bevan / Beavan / Bevin
Rockett / Rocket
Cox / Coxe
Cummings / Cummins

The only hiccup was one born a Beavan, had a childhood as Watkins and went to Bevan when he married! Took a while to sort that one out
