Surnames: Liffen Liffin Brine Weymouth Greaves Garthwaite
I found this interesting snippet on the internet. From what I can gather this Liffen is connected to the south London Liffen's, c1820+ (but they are sometimes called Loffen in Sussex). Any ideas on who this John is and whether he's a Norfolk Liffen/Liffin?
