SteH 10-04-2007, 07:46 PM A random survey it would appear to be Jones, just went to 118.com and input Smith and Jones for 3 different L postcodes (L13 L16 L25) - Jones was clearly the most popular in each one gorgeous 10-04-2007, 07:50 PM Hiya Everyone I havn't got a single Smith or Jones in my tree . At least it's made searching for ancestors that bit easier . Karen John(Zappa) 10-04-2007, 09:04 PM i am a curious person by nature and was wondering what is the commonest surname in Liverpool ? caterina..:) It wouldn't suprise me if it was a Polish name.:ninja: lindylou 10-04-2007, 10:53 PM A random survey it would appear to be Jones, just went to 118.com and input Smith and Jones for 3 different L postcodes (L13 L16 L25) - Jones was clearly the most popular in each one I made a good guess there :) lindylou 10-04-2007, 10:54 PM Hiya Everyone I havn't got a single Smith or Jones in my tree .

It's hard keeping-up with them!!!!!:PDT_Xtremez_12: jimmy 10-05-2007, 01:40 AM :) I too have Jones on my fathers side of the family. Max 10-05-2007, 02:25 AM I'm surprised people In Liverpool find my surname hard to pronounce! Isn't Molyneux supposed to be a well known Liverpool surname? I've got Burns and Dugans In my tree but dunno any of them. Ged 10-05-2007, 09:22 AM There were loads of Jones' in Gerard Gardens when I lived there and 3 with the christian name George in fact. I still know a few and would have gone along with that. Gnomie 10-05-2007, 12:21 PM I thought Kidda , Mate or Lah would be big here :) phredd 10-05-2007, 12:35 PM I'm surprised people In Liverpool find my surname hard to pronounce! Isn't Molyneux supposed to be a well known Liverpool surname? I've got Burns and Dugans In my tree but dunno any of them. Was'nt there a Molyneux Road off Kensington ?? Phredd Ged 10-05-2007, 12:41 PM There's one off Shiel Road but although a well known family of Liverpool old, I don't think there are that many Molyneux around now. ps. According to my A-Z there are 12 Molyneux thoroughfares whether they be Ave, Clo, Ct, Dr, Rd, way etc but no street. robbo176 10-05-2007, 05:08 PM There were loads of Jones' in Gerard Gardens when I lived there and 3 with the christian name George in fact. I still know a few and would have gone along with that. My Aunty's second husbands name is George Jones chippie 10-05-2007, 05:35 PM Max how come people find it hard to pronounce your name? You pronounce it "Molly knew" don,t you? chippie 10-05-2007, 05:38 PM Mandy I,m afraid the Jones, have infiltrated our family too. When I was working in Button Street back in the 60s I had a mate called Eric Jones and in my last job in Drury Lane I had another pal called Eric Jones 25 years apart. Don,t know if they were related or not but they weren,t Welsh but broad Scouse. robbo176 10-05-2007, 05:43 PM my aunty's husband is known as Eric although his name is George Ged 10-05-2007, 06:39 PM and my bezzie mate's bro in law is Eric Jones. caterina 10-05-2007, 06:53 PM Wonder what the most unusual Surname is in Liverpool ? Caterina.:) lindylou 10-08-2007, 12:46 PM and my bezzie mate's bro in law is Eric Jones. not Eric Jones the accountant ?? Ged 10-08-2007, 01:05 PM No, not him Lindylou though he probably wishes he was ;) PhilipG 10-08-2007, 01:45 PM No Smiths or Jones in my family tree, but there was an Elizabeth Taylor in the 1700s. Any "famous" names in other people's families? robbo176 10-08-2007, 01:49 PM I've got loads of George Foremans & a Maria Callas Ged 10-08-2007, 02:23 PM My dad and Brother. Joe Fagan. As in the LFC manager who won the 'treble' in 84. John(Zappa) 10-08-2007, 03:13 PM not Eric Jones the accountant ?? And my brothers best man was Eric Jones. :PDT10 Ged 10-08-2007, 03:15 PM not Eric Jones the accountant?? John(Zappa) 10-08-2007, 03:16 PM not Eric Jones the accountant??

Phredd Theres one on Kenny and one In Mossley Hill by the Liverpool College. gorgeous 10-08-2007, 07:49 PM Max , I have friends John & Lynn Molyneux , My lot have been a nightmare to trace , my Mintons where mistranscibed as Winton , ( Still searching for the potteries link.) Dupre, Stack . Tyack or Tyass. poss Brophy oh i've got a Woosnam .like the golfer ! The Dupre one is my g grandfather & he can't be found anywhere . so i'm completly stuck on that line .I thought it was an unusual name & it would be easy not the case ! My dads mate is a Riozzi , & they've done great tracing their tree . So it's the luck of the draw & being transcibed correctly helps , Karen lindylou 10-08-2007, 09:31 PM My dad's neighbours are called Molyneux. he calls them 'the Mollies' :) chippie 10-08-2007, 11:59 PM I had black mollies when I used to have tropical fish PhilipG 10-09-2007, 01:10 AM Wonder what the most unusual Surname is in Liverpool ?
