The Axe name orgin and family crest
Hi Micheal, I have Been researching my surname AXE and it comes from the county of somerset in England. There are 2 rivers that have the same name 1 rans into the Bristol channel and the other into the English channel so I think my surname comes from the river or the area near it. My father had a family sheild done which actual has the river Axe on it. I have been researching my name for 5 years and have got back to my great great grandfathers father of about 1851 in a little village called Odcombe in Somerset. On looking at the Census for the area of somerset there were a lot of Axes in different villages, i do know the name goes back to the 1600 at least? As people interest in researching the Axe name have sent me information on marriages/deaths quoting these dates. Ps hope its of some use to you
Many Thank Geoff Axe.

Geoff, Hope you don't mind me butting in on your thread. I've only recently begun looking up my family history, and have previously found just one record of an Axe leaving England for America. Prior to that, I suspected that there was no connection between the two branches. It's nice to have confirmation that we're all related! If I get any info in the future regarding UK/US connections I'll be sure to let you know. Regards, Jeff Axe

Jeff, thanks for the reply about the possible connection between the Axe surname. If you have any information on the location of where the Axe left England and a date,it could help me to try and trace that persons origins
Regards Geoff Axe

Hi John, I'm from Hull, we must be pretty closely related! I'm afraid I haven't made much of a start on the family history, but any info you'd like to part with would be appreciated. If you reply I'll send you my immediate ancestry to see if it fits in with your family.......

Jim, I'd really like a copy of the crest. Please Email me and we'll sort out the method/cost etc. Thanks.

I'm also from Yorkshire and I have a large genealogy for the Yorkshire Axes going back to the early 1600s. All details on you branch will be gratefully accepted and I can send you an electronic version of what I have in return.
