  Mayall Family Story                                                     October 2022 Introduction I have   been   digging   and delving   into    my family   roots for   some   considerable   time . My   dear   wife Liz   passed   away   on the   4 April 2020 leaving a   dreadful void in my life . One   blessing has   been the closeness of   our   family – God bless them all . I gave son Nic a copy of   my Sharp Family History and he   enjoyed it   so much   asked if   I   would   do a   similar one   for   our   Mayall side of the family . Well- here goes !

It   came from France “ in the wake of the Norman Conquest of 1066 “ . One theory is that it is   derived from the Middle English personal name of   “ Mihel “a vernacular   form of Michael   meaning   “ who is the Lord ?” Var
