Does anyone have any idea of the origin & history of my surname. All my family are white british and lived in the East End of London, Although I believe that the name is also to be found in Devon aroung Plymouth. I have heard that it may originate from the carving of figuirheads for sailing ships which may be possible with the docks in London & Plymouth. Can't find the name on any sites regarding surnames. keith@woodmason.freeserve.co.uk
