Hi

Searching the Notts FHS Baptism CD for HONEY + any other characters gives only 3 entries for HONEY.

I'd suggest also trying the UCL surname profiler but cannot now find it.

I agree, if you look at familysearch.org and type in Honeymold surname then Honeyman and variants e.g. Honyman comes up in Nottinghamshire
