One Name Studies: H to M / Re: Heap surname
« on: Monday 20 October 08 20:15 BST (UK) »
My Heap family comes from the Burnley, Lancashire area (My surname is Heap). I have heard Don's origin of the Heap name before and believe it is the most likely answer. I understood that a Baron de Hep came over from Normandy with William the Conqueror.
I used to live near Heap Bridge, which was originally part of an area called Heap between Bury and Heywood in Lancashire, but could find no evidence that the Heap name emanated from there.
