That no good – they reckon that there were less than 100 van den Broeks on the electoral role in 1998. I guess it makes me more unique than I thought, at least!!
Hmm, with a name like Solomon, we always assumed it was of jewish extraction, particularly as my father remembers an uncle levi, and it was noted that he bore a striking resemblance to the former Chief Rabbi. According to this, we are of greek/cypriot extraction!! it also ignores the fact that the high density in cornwall was due to people taking surnames to go on the registers, there are apparetnly a lot of biblical names down there.
there’s no Shackelford results, but there are quite a lot of Shackleford.
