Warwickshire / Re: Family with Jewish connections in 16th century Wolston?
« on: Saturday 11 July 15 21:29 BST (UK) »
Hi not sure if anyone is still reading this but I am a Lissaman from the Wolston area (well Rugby).
I can tell you that our surname is not Jewish and links back to 7th century England, the Lissaman branch actually comes from Rugby and spreads out from there. The reason it is known in Wolston is because of my branch of the family (fathers side) were all brought up in Ryton, it was a large family with a unique surname (I am the only Lissaman with my first name and from what I have searched there has never been another with it, it is also a fairly common name).
