Am searching for any long-standing families with this surname. My family line goes back to 1700 with the Wittersham Edgecocks. Within a couple of generations the spelling had changed to Hedgcock / Hedgecock / Hitchcock. If anyone is descended from Wittersham with any of these spellings please get in touch.
But I'd be delighted to hear from anyone studying any of these names (and those connected) from any area as I'm doing a One-Name-Study as well.
