I am researching the Slaney surname in Staffordshire, Shropshire, Warwickshire areas and found a baptismal record on Ancestry.com dated 20 Jul 1707 for "Jonas Slaney alias Tovey a. of William Tovey" in the parish register for Polesworth, Warwickshire. What was the connection between the Tovey and Slaney surnames? Does anyone have any other information about this Jonas Slaney? Why was he "alias Tovey", was he adopted by William Tovey? Any help is greatly appreciated!
