ArchivesRe: Anyone know of the surname Hartridge?
in reply to a message by Jim Young
When a Polish ancestor of mine moved to the UK, he anglicized his surname (in order to integrate more easily into 19th century Britain) to a surname completely different to his previous one. Could this have been what the German Hartridges did.

Could be, and that would make it impossible to discover the original name without some written record or family memory. I still think that this name probably began with Hart- which could be English or German.
