Re: Some surnames
in reply to a message by Doris
There is a Turley in my Irish name book and it looks like it may have some relevance ...it may ultimately be from the Vikings, meaning "Thor-like" and therefore be found throughout the British Isles.

The closest I can find on my French translation site is "Poil" which seems to mean "hair or beard" ...my guess, if it is indeed related, is a name derived from a personal description of an ancestor ...

Sorry ...best I can do ...I'm a bit rusty ...been away for awhile ...
