Unthank
« on: Friday 01 October 04 23:19 BST (UK) »
In the 1817 directory of Hull I found two men with the surname "Unthank" - both master mariners.  A search of a surname frequency database told me there are only 333 Unthanks in Britain today.  There are none in the current Hull phone book.  Has anyone come across this name - was it local to the East Riding?
Godden in East Sussex, mainly Hastings area.
Richards in Lea, Gloucestershire, then London.
Williamson in Leith, Vickers in Nottingham.
Webb in Bildeston and Colchester.
Wesbroom in Kirby le Soken.
Ellington in Harwich.
Park, Palmer, Segar and Peartree in Kersey.

Just as an extra snippet regarding the UNTHANK surname.

There is a small collection of houses in Morayshire, Scotland called Unthank - my mother was born there.
