cbc58 Posts: 333 Registered: Aug 2008	posted 08-28-2018 10:34 AM I'd just like to know how someone gets the last name Purple. Here's another: Robert Gray: If we extend this to surnames related to the trades - it could get interesting. Were Butler and Baker candlestick makers? Are Smiths originally smiths? Other smiths with names related to the trades? [This message has been edited by cbc58 (edited 08-28-2018).] IP: Logged
