Yoxon

Post by Joy Rees »

Does the name Yoxon mean anything to any member? My aunt was married to Samuel Yoxon and I wonder where the name originates as I have not heard of it anywhere else.
Many thanks

Very many thanks to Blue70 and North Meols. Given me plenty to go on. I had always thought it was not an English name.
