i used to think our surname (SMALL)was really unusual - until I went to college in the 70s. There were 2 of us on the same course AND with the same first name (Janice)! I have never met anyone else but now I know they're all over the place! |

Dawn Where are your Cobbeldicks? I ask because one of my relatives was a servant for an E. Cobeldick of Polgreen, St Mawgan, Cornwall in the 1870s. Polgreen was a farm of about 180 acres. Helen |

I do know a Smallbones, so its not that unusual - and of course there is the firm in Devizes. In my own family tree - Chowns and Smoothy. Helen |
