Notes

GASCOIGNE Gascoign, Gascoyne, Gaskain, Gaskin and Gasking are all variations on the surname Gascoigne. Surnames were often corrupted in earlier times, when different spellings and nicknames resulted in the birth of new surnames. Today surnames are fixed, so Paul Gascoigne's nickname 'Gazza' is unlikely to become a surname in its own right. Early Gascoignes included Bernard Gascon in Northamptonshire 1206 and Yorkshire's William le Gascun in 1208, but this line is thought to have died out. In the later thirteenth century another line of Gascoignes included Philip le Gascoyn of Shropshire and Geoffrey Gascoyne of Norfolk and in the following century this surname appeared in Yorkshire as Gasqwyn. All the names point to a French origin and mean 'Gascon' - someone from Gascony. Gascon derives from the Latin Vasco-Onis which means 'boasting' which is also the origin for the name of the Basques in Spain. In the sixteenth century a branch of the Gascoigne family acquired land in Durham when Isobel Boynton, a descendant of the Lumleys and heiress to the estate of Ravensworth near Gateshead married Sir Henry Gascoigne of Gawthorpe, Lancashire. The Gascoignes owned the manor of Ravensworth until they sold it to the Liddell family in 1607, but members of the family continued to own land at nearby Birtley. It was the Liddells who built the castle at Ravensworth in the following century. It was demolished in 1953. http://www.englandsnortheast.co.uk/Surnames.html
