Interesting fact Fletcher surname was the most common in Nottinghamshire and Lancashire.

Hi there fletch001,

If you've not yet managed to get hold of the dissertation by Julia Neville, and would still like to do that, perhaps you could try contacting her directly using these details (which Aunty Google helped me find):

University of Exeter:
Dr Julia Neville (PhD University of Exeter) is a Honorary Research Fellow in the History Department at the University of Exeter.
Email: J.Neville@exeter.ac.uk

The same information about her position is given by:
University of Exeter Press
Devon History Society
academia.edu
researchgate.net

Her Linkedin page:
Dr Julia Neville: Exeter University and Devon History Society

The Devon and Exeter Institution
&
The South West Heritage Trust
Both say she can be contacted at: j.f.neville@btinternet.com or via the Devon History Society website.

NB: I think all the above information must be pretty up-to-date because she recently (17 July 2024) gave a talk at the Royal Albert Memorial Museum in Exeter.

So, luckily, there are at least three ways to make contact with her...hope this helps!

I've always thought that in some instances, Fletcher might be an anglicisation of Fleischer (obviously not in every case!); or more directly derived from Old English flæscmangere "butcher".

Hello Annie,
Yes, you are correct in both instances, they are both possible.
