Sorry, Yonks, this is no help with your query, but my father had a pal called Jimmy Rumgay in Dunfermline in the 1920s (he must have been born about 1902 I think).

He became so fed up with having to explain and spell out his unusual surname that, when asked, he often gave his name as: "White - W. H. I. T. E." 

I don't suppose he knew that he might have had an ancestor called Black.

Hi Martiparti

You need to post one more reply and then you can send PMs.  (It's to discourage malicious morons flooding the site but it is confusing for serious people just starting)

Welcome to Rootschat. We are friendly really.

All the best
