Has anyone come across the name of Tameon in their research. I have a Tameon Henry age 16 in 1861. Can't find much about the name on Google, except something about a pet monster!! Perhaps it was a mistake. Can anyone help, please? Kathy |

It could be a variant of Damian (and its many spellings) Have you tried FreeBMD Paul |

Paul It does sound like Damian - perhaps the enumerator misheard it and the parents were illiterate. Though it definitely says Tameon on the 1861 census page. Kathy |

Try sticking it in FreeBMD and see if any others come up. |

There was only one other on the whole of the BMD - a death of a Tameon Brenton in St Austell. |

Hi Kathleen, I've just posted details of the name Tameon on the Mahalah thread - I didn't see yours till now! Tameon (according to my Search Engine) is the place in the Old Testament Temple where the treasures were stored. Hope this helps! Eleanor xx |

Kathleen. It could well be Tameon there seems to have been a West Country habit of using obscure biblical references as names. Good luck. Keith |

Anthony and Keith Many thanks for your replies. I thought perhaps the enumerator had misheard Damian, but I think your explanations are better. Kathy |
