Bartlett is another difficult one. It is more common in Cornwall then the rest of England, but has a strong French background.

Cornwall is the place the direct male anscestry I have leads to, and therefore last name-maybe my great great great great (...) great grandpa had a lot of kids? Wink

Ode to Cornwall:

Oh, Cornwall, Cornwall, place with the end of land,
Cornwall, Cornwall, how I find you so dand,
ee, Cornwall, Cornwall, home of mines and sheep,
Cornwall, Cornwall, with sunshine, rain, hail, heat and sleet,
Cornwall, Cornwall, corny corny cornwall,
corny wally cornwally corn cornwall cornwall,
Cornwall, Cornwall, we've run out of things to say,
Cornwall, Cornwall, to brighten up Al's day,
But Cornwall, Cornwall, best of the British places (except Wales),
Cornwall, Cornwall, you've no inbred faces!
So Cornwall, Cornwall, we'll cherish the memories you give,
Cornwall, Cornwall, long may you live!
