IGI names index
Re: The IGI Index of “Mogridges” in the British Isles.
Now that the IGI is on-line and giving up to 2000 entries on a search, it is possible to see how many “Mogridges” are on record. It must be remembered that records are often duplicated (especially weddings) and ancestral records are often estimated rather than real (and thus possibly duplicated as well). The records also overlap those of the FRC after 1837. Moreover, some counties are not yet complete, especially Wiltshire, an early Mogridge home. The estimate must therefore remain tentative until further verification. The overseas Mogridges are not included, although it is interesting that there are more Maugridges and Morgridges in the US than in the UK, especially in New England.

It is consonant with Makaris, which has some 195 entries in the IGI with many variants included, and early clusters in Teeside, Lincoln and Cambridge, which probably suggests Danish/ Viking origin.

Bach. This would explain why the variants Morgridge/ Maugridge etc who emigrated very early to New England are still common there with the Elizabethan pronunciation whereas these spellingshave died out in England.More Replies:
