J.H. Round's "Feudal England Historical Studies in the
11th and 12th Centuries", and specifically his Study
"Early Irish Trade with Chester and Rouen" is of some
interest because possibly some Norman families
recorded in Cheshire and Lancashire in the 1100s did
not arrive because of William 1st invasion but due to
trading between Rouen, Chester, and Dublin.

Thus the possibility of family information to be found
in the merchant trading world, and perhaps in Dublin
and Rouen rather than Cheshire and Lancashire.

It is interesting to learn that the Marten (weasel
family) now relatively rare, was abundent in Ireland a
thousand years past. Rouen customs record the
importation of Marten furs. Wills 1200-1500 often
emphasised gifts of garments lined with Marten fur -
it was a valued garment.

Sincerely Yours,

Paul Bulkley

If you have exhausted whatever references Round gave & are looking for some
further leads on this, I suggest you try the following:

Ernest de Fréville _Mémoire sur le commerce maritime de Rouen, depuis les
temps les plus reculés jusqu'à la fin du XVIe siècle_, 2 volumes (Rouen &
Paris, 1857)



H. Wood, 'Commercial Intercourse with Ireland in the Middle Ages', _Studies_
(an Irish quarterly review) 4 (1912)



Michel Mollat, _Le commerce maritime normand à la fin du Moyen-Age_ (Paris,
1952)



idem, _Etudes d'histoire maritime_ (Turin, 1977)



idem, _Histoire de Rouen_, Univers de la France et des pays francophones 43
(Toulouse, 1979)



_The Irish Sea: Aspects of Maritime History_, edited by Michael McCaughan &
John Appleby (Belfast, 1989)



John T. Maple, _The Irish Sea Region, 850-1254 AD_, PhD thesis, University
of Kansas 1985 (although unpublished, a copy of this in typescript may be
held by a library not too far from you - I found two copies in Melbourne).
