Origin of surnames.
 

Just had a funny moment watching football Man U v Shrewsbury. Right back for Shrewsbury, Grandson.
Can' get this scene out of my head, Middle England village early 18th c Census Officer, "Right sir before i leave who is this young chap sitting in the corner, Head of house slightly embarassed about daughters illegitimate son," You don't have to put him down,he's only a grandson"
Must include everyone sir what is his name,
Jack
What his is age
3
Right so we have Robert Bradshaw age 53,Head. Elizabeth Bradshaw age 51 wife. Maggie Bradshaw age 19 daughter, Jack Grandson age 3:}

P.S. Sorry footballs boring.:D

upon my birth i was given my mothers name and the small version of certificate which did not name the father however as was often the case to prtect the innocent, I was raised by my grandparents and adopted by them so i guess on census given under their name.
but could i revert to my birth name?.

So in law my mother and uncles and aunts became my sisters and brothers and my half brothers and sisters became my nephews and neices lol got a headache yet, most people get one when i try to explain:}

But I am not a number I am a Man!!
