Would that be an Irish term then?
Would have thought so, regardless of what Elmo tries to claim
- my Ma grew up in Everton, so she'll have heard it from families with an Irish connection.
Her surname was Evans, so easy to guess her background, but while my surname is old English, mainly York and Derbyshire, I have traced my family back to 1841 in the City when two brothers came over from Belfast, once settled in the City, I can trace them to Moorfields and then Green Street, the other dickhead fucked off to manchester, the dopey fuck. That side has totally disappeared. The only family in Manchester carrying my surname, as far as I can tell, is mine.
