If one considers that the origins of surnames were usually very simplistic, falling into 7 types a la

Occupations
Archer, Bailey, Baker, Brewer, Butcher, Carter, Chandler, Clark, Collier, Cooper, Cook, Carpenter, Dyer, Faulkner, Fisher, Fletcher, Fowler, Fuller, Glover, Hayward, Hawkins, Head, Hunt or Hunter, Judge, Knight, Miller, Mason, Page, Palmer, Parker, Porter, Sawyer, Slater, Smith, Stringer, Taylor, Thatcher, Turner, Shoemaker, Walker, Weaver, Wood or Woodman and Wright (or variations such as Cartwright and Wainwright).

Personal characteristics
Short, Brown, Black, Whitehead, Young, Long, White
Geographical features e.g., Bridge, Camp, Hill, Bush, Lake, Lee, Wood, Holmes, Forest, Underwood, Hall, Brooks, Fields, Stone, Morley, Moore, Perry

Place names
Washington, Everingham, Burton, London, Leighton, Hamilton, Sutton, Flint, Laughton

Estate
For those descended from land-owners, the name of their holdings, castle, manor or estate, e.g. Ernle, Windsor, Staunton

Patronymics, matronymics or ancestral
often from a person's given name. e.g., from male name: Richardson, Stephenson, Jones (Welsh for John), Williams, Jackson, Wilson, Thompson, Benson, Johnson, Harris, Evans, Simpson, Willis, Fox, Davies, Reynolds, Adams, Dawson, Lewis, Rogers, Murphy, Nicholson, Robinson, Powell, Ferguson, Davis, Edwards, Hudson, Roberts, Harrison, Watson, or female names Molson (from Moll for Mary), Madison (from Maud), Emmott (from Emma), Marriott (from Mary) or from a clan name (for those of Scottish origin, e.g., MacDonald, Forbes, Henderson, Armstrong, Grant, Cameron, Stewart, Douglas, Crawford, Campbell, Hunter) with "Mac" Scottish Gaelic for son.[9]

Patronal from patronage
(Hickman meaning Hick's man, where Hick is a pet form of the name Richard) or strong ties of religion Kilpatrick (follower of Patrick) or Kilbride (follower of Bridget). (Kil may come from the Gaelic word 'Cill' which means Church. This would certainly support the claim that the surname is tied to the religion.)

Where did Hancock come in ?

53862

I don't know too many jr's either

Middling for me but I liked the derivation:


From the Dutch kampen, to fight, or kamper, a champion.

I can think of loads of people with the surname jr. Ray Parker Jr, Robert Downey Jr...

I also think that Churchill was the last white man to be called Winston.

No Spittles found. Which is odd, as there are three around my breakfast table

Not made out of Wool I wouldn't have thought. .

This is not very accurate, it says there are no Kellard's either, even though 1881 seems to have quite a few spread out over the country too.
