Cornwall / Re: ADDICOAT family name?.......

Oh, I also believe that the pronounciation of the name could have been A-Dis-Ko-Tay, or A-Dee-Ko-Tay. (Just from enquiries I have made from my end.)

Janey, like I said, it was just an idea, but it does marry up with a Herry ADYCOT marriage mention in Cornwall in 1583.
There's also another name meaning given as 'man of the coast'.
We also have the earlier Addacott, going back to 1552 with the wifes surname being 'Sampsoun'.
Now, that could be Sampson, or it could be a french derivative.

It was just interesting that Tunya's grandmother has also heard of the French connection. Obviously a story which has travelled through the lines.
Devon is virtually next to Cornwall, so it's not inconceivable the family may have travelled from there.
Finding them is going to be the hard part. :)

Tunya,
Here's an idea out of left field
a de cote - French translation - To side of.
England is to the side of France???

The 'e' becomes a 'y' - adycote, and from then on, you can get any of the different spellings that we've come across.

Hi Jen
The earliest we can go back is to this Addicoat family of 6....the members are:

Prudence b 1640 married a Rawlin
Henry 1647-1714 married Dorothy
William b 1655 married Susan (this is my ancestor)
Paskow 1649-1721 married Elizabeth
John b 1651 married Tamsen
Richard b 1653 married Dorothy

They all married in St Buryan...and in the church yard there, a few Addicoat graves with the family 'crest' of a round stone combined with a cross...

Where are you writing from? Are you over in England?

Tunya, Just had a look at mine and William and Susan is my direct line ancestor as well. ;D

Just had a look at the link.
The Addicott shield is different. Roundels on an X

Hmm, never actually thought of searching others family trees again.
Did that once, and oh boy, talk about mistakes.
One of them had the father marrying the granddaughter. You would have thought the birthdates would have clued the owner in on that one.
I'll have to check my great Aunts tree. Thanks for the hint Janey. :)

Janey, I wouldn't be surprised at all. :)
Spellings of the names keep changing. In 1915, a young man joined the Army in Australia to do 'his bit'. Unfortunately, he died of meningitis two months later. His fathers name was Addicoat, but his name on his papers is Addicoate.
I think we'd go nuts trying to piece every name change together.
This is the time when we need a time machine to go back and check things out. Especially when you have no surname of the wife on the marriage certificate.
Wouldn't it make things so much easier!! ;D

Found this one - 1641. Which is where the line in Cornwall roughly starts.

Notice the subtle change in name.

Oh there have been quite a few derivations on the name. (In fact it's still going. The differences in spelling of the surname, just associated with me is unbelievable.)
Considering most of them back then were probably illiterate, and the changes of the names throughout the years, it's a 'could be connected'.
There was also a suggestion in the family lore, the French name could have been something similar to 'Addiscote', but I haven't been able to find anything close.

Yes, those 'Oaths' seem familar.
