Hi Debbie,
I would be very happy for you to post it. I am working on the others . I am
also writing to all coastal Record Offices to find out what they hold and
will post the total list when I have it all.
Best Wishes

Hi!
I am sendingthis to you 'auntiem(a)nac.net' as you and I are actually the only
ones subscribed to this mailing list!
I am the list owner and was on the point of writing to Rootsweb to suggest
we call the whole thing off (we've been running quite a while with no
response) when I discovered something ... despite having subscirbed to the
list, naturally, on the day I began it, somehow my own 'subscribe' request
did not work! Consequently I wouldn't have seen any messages, even if there
had been any! Oh dear! How very embarrassing!
Anyway, to introduce myself very briefly, my mother's maiden name was
Chiddy. She was/is of the Isle of Wight group of Chiddys. As you will know,
it is a very old name, and nothing at all to do with its near neighbour,
Chitty! There are several main areas where the name is found in the UK, the
oldest and we believe the original, is in the West Country.... that is
Somerset with offshoots into Avon and Devon and a few across the Bristol
Channel into Wales. Next oldest seems to be the London grouping, then
Hampshire. There has been a small group in the north of England but they can
all be traced back to a Samuel Chiddy, one of the London group. Naturally,
emigration has resulted in scattered groups world wide, but the name remains
rare, and most people wherever they are situated in the world, can trace
their origins fairly easily due to that. Most, it has to be said, have come
from the West Country group who seem to have had the wanderlust much more
than the others!
So I am delighted that you have joined the list, I must apologise if you
have ever made a posting which because of this hiccup, I didn't ever see.
Do get in touch!
Debbie Beavis
