One Name Studies: H to M / Re: Heap surname
« on: Thursday 22 September 11 12:00 BST (UK) »
Hi
According to our research the Heap family established themselves in Lancaster where they were seated at Failsworth and Adam Heap was Lord of the manor. They were originally from the parish of Gueron in Bayeaux in Normandy and were a branch of the Monceux family. Robert Heaps was forced to forfeit the lands of Hurst Monceux (spelling then) in Sussex but later they were restored to his successor, Richard Heap. By the 16th Century they had branched to Cheshire.
Hope this helps!

The Common Room / Re: Origins of the surname Kinch
« on: Thursday 08 September 11 13:14 BST (UK) »
Hi
According to our research they emerged in County Down - They were directly descended from Saran, King of Dalriada, through Eochaidh Combh, Lord of Iveagh and scions of the McGuinness Clann in County Down. A branch of this family called themselves Kinch or McInesh and acquired territories on the Isle of Man becoming a truly Manx family. However in the 17th and 18th century some of the family migrated back to Ireland and settle in Wicklow and Wexford.
Hope this helps!
All the best

Surrey / Re: Surname BOSSHARDT

Hi there
I just checked out our database and whilst I can't help with your query, I thought it was interesting that BOSSHARDT meant a person who was very tough or inclined to fight!
Best,
Wendy
