Mogue. Although there are references in Scotlnad I am interested only in those from England. Elizabeth Mogue was my Grandfather's wife - not my Grandmother though. It seems to have died out. Jane

Wharram and Jezard are the least common in mine. I was really suprised that Wharram only has 12. Jezard has 15 and 11 are in my tree! Lindsey

If we are talking about names on GC I have a list: I have the only Ayleward, Cocbone, Cockbane, Maledy, Villendue, Walsh-Jones and Wetheril. Also I have probably the only two Wedralds that have ever existed.

Hi Brian in Essex. That's odd. I've got the only Botren on GC. There is only the one entry on the IGI and none on the 1881 census!! Debbie
