Live not far from the village of Scarisbrick. My husband's ancestors did come from there too. There is also a local hotel with the same name and yes we had our wedding do there. Until I met my husband I had never heard of the name but it is quite common round here. Viking in origin Jane |

Don't think there is a place called Seldon (married name) although there's lots of roads and a farm in Devon named Seldon. Maiden name Kilpatrick - I know there's a place called Old Kilpatrick because I have a photo of my Dad standing by the road sign! Sue |

My maiden name was Brinkley and there is a village with the same name.I think it is in Suffolk or Cambridge and every so often, all the Brinkleys meet there. I was sent a photo of the last meeting and there were over a hundred people there. It has its own website. Sylvia (now Whalley)in Perth WA |

It's unusual to find an old place that hasn't created a surname. Nearly all these will have UK origins. There are only 18 with the Yorkshire surname but thousands of Kents Check out this for surnames and first names http://www.yournotme(.)com/ Bob |

My maiden name was Rosman, and you can find this name in a place in the USA. Don't know how it got there, but I've seen it on the map. My name came from Finland, so don't know how it got to the USA. No record of any emigration there, only Gt Britain. Sylvia xxx |
