ArchivesRe: Meaning of my lns?
in reply to a message by Tiffany
A quote that may interest you: "Fransson has noted a rare occupational name, John le Dethewright, le Dedewrithe, le Dedewrighte in Essex in 1299 and 1327... from 'fuel, tinder'. This survives as Deathridge and Deth(e)ridge." So Detherage must mean 'maker of tinder'.
