Has anybody heard of the surname Longbourne ?

My Grandfather's name is Alfred Longbourne McNemay & Longbourne is supposed to be a family name, so far I cannot find a connection between Longbourne & McNemay.Found some Longbournes in the English Census in Sussex.

Also having trouble finding the surname McNemay.

Any help very much appreciated.....Gidget

Hi Gidget
Welcome to rootschat.   Try various spellings of McNemy - Macnamee, McNamee etc.  There are various people researching the latter in the Genealogical Research Dictionary.
The Longbourne bit is highly likely to be mother's maiden name - or another name from the past.  More details on your grandfather might help us sort that.    Was he born in Australia?
