My married name means what it is, a draper. My maiden name meant maker of hoods. Cloth is apparently my designation.

My mother's maiden name meant brown ford and comes from a village in Yorkshire, which now has a bridge where the ford was.

Her mother's maiden name means 'Christ carrier' (or Christ is my burden')

My Christian names mean beloved by God and chosen by God. Sort of rules out athiesm really!
