My Beresford's mother was from Ireland, and I have the impression that it is
of Irish origin. However, a Google search now has it popping up all over the
place, so I am not sure.

My Uncle's middle name was Beresford- he was born in Antigua, WI- always was
curious where that name came from

Beresford and Eustace were both first names in the HEAVEN family - which
owned land in Jamaica at one time.
Apologies for accidentally hitting reply a few moments previously, when

I have come across some interesting middle names with my research in
England, where BLENKINSOP for example was the mother's maiden name of Thomas
Blenkinsop URWIN, and the US. where, again, middle names such as UNDERHILL
and RYERSON were the mother's maiden name, or at least a family connection.
Is this a similar situation in the Caribbean?? The middle names of Stanley
Beresford LYNCH and Miriam Arnester McLEAN appear to be a form of surname
rather than a christian name. One of their children had Eustace as a middle
name, another had McDonald as a middle name.
Any opinions very welcome!
