Morseman Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 I wonder who invents these place names? Hairy ford shire? Leo minster or should that be lem minster? What is that all about? From Ancestry.com Hereford English: habitational name from Hereford in Herefordshire, or Harford in Devon and Goucestershire, all named from Old English here ‘army’ + ford ‘ford’. From information britain Leominster is another market town on the Black and White Village Trail. Dating from the 7th century, its first recorded name is 'Llanllieni', the Welsh name meaning 'the church on the streams'. HTH Quote
