Durham / Re: Green at Hutton Magna on Yorks/Durham border

I've just Googled "Lettice Huband" and came up with this discussion.
My 4X GGrandMother was also called Lettice Huband which was at the start of this thread. I can't believe that this is just a coincidence of such an unusual combination of names & wonder whether your relative was named after mine.
I don't have a birth date for her yet but she married Thomas Clayton on 28th May 1793 at All Saints, Evesham, Worcestershire. They moved to Berkshire by 1806, Thomas being a printer & bookseller. Lettice died in Reading 22 January 1832 & Thomas 25 March 1833.
They had 6 children including my 3X GGrandFather Charles James Clayton, another printer. He named one of his children Thomas Huband Clayton.
The IGI entry for the marriage is very vague so I hope to go to Worcester soon to see the original & hopefully get further back. The NT site for surnames shows that Huband, although quite rare, was most common in Worcestershire.
I found this out for the first time last night & had never heard of the name Huband before. This morning there is a letter in the Daily Telegraph written by a R J Huband of Ashton under Hill, Worcestershire. How weird is that?
