Christchurch Priory - An unfortunate name
« on: Tuesday 21 February 23 11:24 GMT (UK) »
We saw this while visiting the priory in Dorset.  I'm not totally sure whether it is his name or his preference.

The Pine-Coffin family came from a marriage between the two families in the 1700's. One branch inherited the estate of Esat Down, long held by the Pyne family, in the mid 20th century I believe.
I am Australian, from all the lands I come (my ancestors, at least!)

Pine/Pyne, Dowdeswell, Kempster, Sando/Sandoe/Sandow, Nancarrow, Hounslow, Youatt, Richardson, Jarmyn, Oxlade, Coad, Kelsey, Crampton, Lindner, Pittaway, and too many others to name.
Devon, Dorset, Gloucs, Cornwall, Warwickshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire, Wilts, Germany, Sweden, and of course London, to name a few.
