Texas Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 On my ma's side, everybody from Cheshire. On my Pa's side, Sheffield. I was born in Sheffield, Pitsmoor. My Grandpa'( Ma's side), came to Sheffield as a fireman on the Railway, I guess he moved from Cheshire to be promoted to passed fireman, (ie,he got some turns as a driver). My Grandpa' (Pa's side), was a silversmith, big time, at Walker & Halls. I dont want to go any further back that that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean.piggott Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Well I know my Piggotts are from Ireland, though they went there from England centuries ago, originally French, with the name Picot. From that name you get every derivative including c's g's and t's, 2 g's 2 t's, 1 c 2 t's etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
