Help[Surname] Re: Shrimplin
in reply to a message by Jim Young
According to the information posted at http://www.surnamedb.com/surname.aspx?name=Shrimpling, Shimpling and Shrimplin(g) are alterations of the placename Sheringham in Norfolk. I'm prettry skeptical about this, especially since other sources such as Mills' A Dictionary of British Place-Names traces Shimpling back to Simplingham recorded in 1035.
