About the study

This is just some brief information about my ONS regarding the wonderful Lincolnshire surname of Kennington.

Or Kenington.

Or Kennyngton, Or Kenyngton. or … you get the idea.

The Kennington clan fist entered my family tree on my mother's side - my great-great-grandmother, Alice K, was the first Kennington tree I started investigating. When I started, I didn't realise that there WAS such a thing as a one-name study ...

I'll be primarily looking at the distribution of the surname in the UK, including trying as far as possible to trace its origins in Lincolnshire/Yorkshire. I'll also try and hunt down the first people with that surname (or one of its variants) in different countries such as the USA and Australia/New Zealand. Wish me luck!
