Dear Rabbit
We're talking about Ince's Pedigrees then - I just took a quick look at the site.  Sorry Rabbit - I just realised it's Aja who's interested here.
Apologies
Derby Girl

Hi Derby Girl,

Thank goodness, I thought that I had lost it in this heat!  Hasn't it been hot today!

Now I thought that Aja and I had cracked it between us, I am sure that he/she will be grateful for the info, I only put what I found on the usual search engine you see.

Your link might be useful to me too I shall have to look at it, so thanks for that, no need to apologise.
It is kind of you to help.

Dear Rabbit
I do hope you find the Wirksworth site useful - yes it's been very hot here too (Yorkshire) even on top of our hill. 
Regards

Hi Derby Girl,

I am in the hills too, but it has been dreadfully hot today.  I am sure that I will find that site most useful. Thanks again for that, even if it was a happy accident!

I am from the United States and all of my relatives have lived here for about 150 years.  On my mother's side, all but one were German and they were still speaking German until a few years before she was born.  My dad's side is mostly English, with some Irish and a German or two to keep the mix interesting.  I have struggled to get across the Atlantic with my research, but you guys are making the journey enjoyable!

Hi David,

So glad that you are enjoying RC, it is a brilliant site indeed.  If you need any help just ask  :)

Where in the USA are you from?  I have loads of Relis in the good old USA.

I hope that you have a good day today, this 4th of July  ;)

Thank you.  I am currently living in San Antonio, Texas.  I still have many relatives whose original stomping grounds we have not been able to determine (Gray, Lewis, Layfield, Smith, Hays).  However, the Baths and Holmans came from Cornwall, the Cleggs from Oldham in Lancashire, and the James from the Ipswich, Suffolk area.  The Tuckers are said to have come from Gravesend, Kent, but I did not do that research myself.

Hi David,

You might find this link useful,  http://www.rootschat.com/links/0941/   I was told by friends of mine who had that latter surname, that it originates in the West Country.

It is interesting to look at the maps anyway. 1881 certainly bears out that theory.  But like all names they spread out with time.

Good luck with your research.   You can have fun with this site!
