BRUNSDON RESERCH !!!!

[kittycatgirl9]

hello anyone researching the name brunsdon. I have been doing my family tree research with the sole purpose of finding out my geological biological origins of my last name. from my research, i have traced my family all the way back to 1535. anyway, based on my research a theory emerged, a theory that it was an early form of the last name associated with a  town. for example Richard of brunsdon. overtime they changed the name of the town due to different conquerors such as Saxons or normans and plague eventually leading to the town name being changed to Blunsdon, a town on the border of Wiltshire and Gloucestershire, Berkshire. anyway, contact me if you want proof of my research and will happily provide evidence.

'Blunsdon St Andrew is a village dating back to the Iron Age, where the earliest ancestors fortified and built a settlement. Blunsdon is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as 'Bluntesdone', at which time the settlement had a population of only two or three adult males. In 1281, there was also a reference to 'Bluntesdon Seynt Andreu'. Additionally in recent years, archaeologists discovered a Roman travellers' resting place on the site of the present-day Cold Harbour pub a mile or so away from Blunsdon Abbey Park'
