Silvester of Staffordshire / Birmingham
« on: Monday 30 May 22 12:33 BST (UK) »
My Silvester line is from the Staffordshire and Birmingham area.  Any views on the likely origins / migrations of the name to England and when  ?

Yes thanks I have tried that but I' m never sure of the credentials of those sites.  No academic or university is ever mentioned on them, we are just asked to accept.
