You're obviously from a very upright family there TVC!

From FM's National Trust website link the 1881 map shows my surname was prevalent in Huddersfield and Kent.

I think there might be a slim chance I didn't get it from Kent.

I've managed 1555, I had one of our Draughtsmen plot it out for me, it came out about six foot long!

One of my Grandaughters took it to school when they were doing Family History and the Headmistress sent me a Gold Star Sticker lol
