Don't listen to TW. Check wherever you like.

Well, I dont really need wiki to tell me (though i did a quick search on there anyways just to please our TW), my married surname was originally a Hugenot name, they were driven out of France (around 1500 I believe) and settled in Cornwall, there are extremely few people in the UK now with that name, but during the Methodist Drive many went to preach abroad, there are several rugby players with this surname in australia, new zealand and even a school by that name in Fiji.
As for my maiden surname, well all I'm going to say it;s pretty common, and I sheepishly admit that one of my great/great/great whatever uncles was a famous poisoner!
