Does anyone know the meaning or origin of the names Ayer (pronounced "air"), Peddicord, or Fanshire? If you do I'd love to know. Thanks

You'll find the origin of Ayer at http://www.ancestry.com/facts/Ayer-name-meaning.ashx. Peddicourt is an alteration of Petticoat whose history you can trace at http://awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=dbdvcw-1&id=I073191. Look up COAT at http://tr.im/gU4w.
Fanshire is an alteration of Fanshaw via Fancher (see http://awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=apcwallner&id=I018). Fanshaw is the actual pronunciation of the placename Featherstonehaugh.
