East Kent with a pinch of London, a smidgin of Norfolk and maybe a touch of Teeside.

There is a possible German connection but I haven't been able to follow that line yet.

The other areas in my research belong to my late wife (a proper mongrel! ;D) or side-lines.
Banks, Beer, Bowes, Castle, Cloak, Coachworth, Dixon, Farr, Golder, Graves, Hicks, Hogbin, Holmans, Marsh, Mummery, Nutting, Pierce, Rouse, Sawyer, Sharp, Snell, Willis: mostly in East Kent.
Ey, Sawyer: London
Evans: Ystradgynlais, Wales
Snell: Snettisham, Norfolk
Knight, Burgess, Ellis: Hampshire
Purdy: Ireland/Canada/Durham/Pennsylvania
McCann: Ireland
Morrow: Pennsylvania
Sparnon: any
Beers, Heath, Conyers, Miller, Russell, Larson, Clark, Sibert, Hopper, Reinhart: USA

I was quite surprised when working this out on my great grandparents that I am 4/8 Middx (the rest being 1/8 each of Herefordshire, Herts, Leics and Hants)
