Oh "platformboots" I love that!! Anyway, may I just introduce my research on the name SPACEY and variants - SPACIE and SPACY plus a few odd spellings probably due to ignorance? I'm a member of the GOONS - that's Guild Of One Name Studies in case you don't know - well yes it sounds odd I know
Such members aim to collect all individuals bearing that name of their choice at all times and anywhere on earth. Hopefully we aim to locate as many as possible into family groups - just for the hell of it! Most of our collection will not normally be part of our personal "tree" - but we never know as we have problems getting back to the dawn of time.
So .. should anyone here find the name I've chosen to research rings a bell as they say, I'd be very glad to hear. It seems that until the later 20th century most of 'us' lived down the eastern half of England from Yorks to London/Middlesex and Surrey or Kent (south of the Thames as they used to be reckoned). But we've certainly spread!
By the way - yes I know about Kevin Spacey the most frequently quoted item in Google!
