Herefordshire / Re: Surname interest MAUND ?
« on: Monday 01 November 10 11:00 GMT (UK) »
Maund is a locative name. It refers to a territory (now 6 parishes) in north Herefordshire, east of the R. Lugg (see Margaret Gelling, Signposts to the Past & Copplestone-Crow, Place names of Herefordshire). According to David Hey such names stem from a single couple. From mis C16 to late c19 Maund names clustered in the basin of the middle Teme. The word is an development from the Celtic/Welsh Magene.
So we're all related. That explains a lot. A DNA test might show this. Interesting research. I was brought up in Maund Cottage on Maund Common! But family in Brimfield in C18 then Liitle Hereford
