Hi again,forgot a couple of bits on the other message.I think you'll find that the scotland Morwoods probably also originated in Derbyshire or Yorkshire as it is a name found fairly regularly up there.There was a well known family in Alfreton derbyshire of Morewoods,who were landed gentry,and had a fairly varied history. I think many families with our name or variants could trace their way back to these folk.There is also a place
up that way called moorwood moor,and a large old house called 'More Hall' was owned by the Morewood family.just a snippet of info for you family records.jo
