The village had 7 ploughlands.[8] The Lordship of the Manor followed that of neighbouring Bedale.[9] The name is derived from Old Norse words eik (oak) and skógr (wood) and means Oak wood.<br /><br />I am an Eskew that had ancestors of Virginia arriving from England as Askew. Several scholars/researchers/genealogists claim that many of the Askew surname originally hailed from Yorkshire not Cumbria.<br /><br />My personal research of the place name does have its origin in Northern England in the time of the Anglo-Saxon from both Cumbria and York; and lesser known localities in Lancashire....however the surname does not have origins in central to southern England. A migration of people carrying the name populated the south from the 1500's onwards.<br /><br />I carry Y DNA Haplogroup R1b>M269>L21>DF63>FT40326. All I know is that have a variation of the surname and this haplogroup and yet to have an Askew in relation nor have i found this haplogroup in others in England. Few have tested and i await to find out more. gabriel mceskewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33953760.post-24820445391528885912022-09-29T20:49:00.798+01:002022-09-29T20:49:00.798+01:00My father and his brothers researched the family n...My father and his brothers researched the family name.<br />The Eldest Brother was called William and their father was called William. <br />He was a RSM in the Warwickshire Regiment and fought in the Boer War and in the First World War getting injured at the Somme.<br />My father hit a dead end in research but then found the missing forebear as "Haskew".<br />They only managed to go back a few hundred years.<br />My father showed me the Coat of Arms bearing the "Infidel's Head" bit off putting but history uncovers the truth. <br />So it is likely that Askews were involved with the Crusades.<br />My father said that the name origin was "Ashceough" meaning Ash Tree on the hill.<br />He maintained it was a Saxon Name. Related to Ainsley, Ainsworth, Askey and a few other names.<br />When I was younger there were very few Askews in the phone book. <br />Today I would expect hundreds.Howard Askewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09476946313672437618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33953760.post-73426967783539290282015-07-04T23:42:21.186+01:002015-07-04T23:42:21.186+01:00Thankyou now i know a lot more about my name and i...Thankyou now i know a lot more about my name and its origionAamir Askewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33953760.post-81309928040931766642012-07-09T07:30:15.451+01:002012-07-09T07:30:15.451+01:00I always remember my mother saying that it came fr...I always remember my mother saying that it came from a settlement name like 'meadow by the wood or forest' as in 'eng' and 'skog' , thus 'engskog' , from the meadow by the wood/forest. I don't know where she got that information from though. She had many friends in Scandanavia so perhaps it was from them?<br />Margaret Spillane (nee Ainscough)Margaret Spillanenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33953760.post-90307006603302574862012-04-29T14:35:56.841+01:002012-04-29T14:35:56.841+01:00Thank you so for your very well documented history...Thank you so for your very well documented history. Our family for several generations continues to be very attached to the forest and myself personally to woodworking of all kinds. I feel something akin to being completely in my element while in the forest. Recently I've discovered that trees have messages to communicate to us, each variety having their own personality. I've registered on your blog to stay in touch.David AskewDavid Askewnoreply@blogger.com
