Pembrokeshire / Re: Lifton surname
« on: Saturday 21 April 18 15:18 BST (UK)  »
I am also descended from the Hubberston Liftons.  We have an oral history that was passed down to me that the Liftons were Jews who came to England from Flanders with a group of weavers. I wasn't told a date.  Weavers from Flanders moved to the UK over quite a long period of historic time and records show that these groups included Jews. The surname Lifton is a variant of Levitan that occurs in Lithuania and Poland.
