Sickerson, Secherson, Sekerson, Seckerston etc.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">These pages will be continuously update, so please keep returning.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the meantime if you have an interest in the name please contact me on the following email link<br \/><a href=\"mailto:info@seckerson.co.uk\">john@seckerson.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">How it all started<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">My mother Irene was a Seckerson, who like many, hailed from the Potteries in Staffordshire, England. When I started looking into the family tree in the early eighties I realised that as Seckerson was quite an uncommon name, I found it was easier to collate information about all Seckersons rather than just my own family line.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After some time I decided to produce a One Name Study of the surname as I felt sure that some of the lines will merge the further\u00a0I go\u00a0back in time. I also wanted to try and trace the origins of the surname.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is a common belief that the surname originates from Scandinavia, however, I have yet to find any evidence for this. Although there is a Sackerson variant that comes from Sweden, the majority of the US based and all of the UK based Seckersons and Sackersons are not descended from this area. I believe I have found evidence as to how the name came about which I will publish on this site soon.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I have been researching the surname Seckerson and its many variants for over 30\u00a0years. I\u00a0would love to hear from any other Seckersons or researchers looking into the name.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Please feel free to contact me if you can add to or would like to correct any of the information on these pages.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As this website develops I will put more historic information online. However, copyright issues will probably prevent me from putting all of the vast amount of data that I have accumulated online.<\/p>\n<p>I am happy to share any information with genuine family history researchers. info@seckerson.co.uk<\/p>\n<p><em>We have a strict privacy policy and we will not divulge information about living persons which is not already in the public domain.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243;

When I started looking into the family tree in the early eighties I realised that as Seckerson was quite an uncommon name, I found it was easier to collate information about all Seckersons rather than just my own family line.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After some time I decided to produce a One Name Study of the surname as I felt sure that some of the lines will merge the further\u00a0I go\u00a0back in time. I also wanted to try and trace the origins of the surname.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is a common belief that the surname originates from Scandinavia, however, I have yet to find any evidence for this. Although there is a Sackerson variant that comes from Sweden, the majority of the US based and all of the UK based Seckersons and Sackersons are not descended from this area. I believe I have found evidence as to how the name came about which I will publish on this site soon.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I have been researching the surname Seckerson and its many variants for over twenty five years. I\u00a0would love to hear from any other Seckersons or researchers looking into the name.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Please feel free to contact me if you can add to or would like to correct any of the information on these pages.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As this website develops I will put more historic information online. However, copyright issues will probably prevent me from putting all of the vast amount of data that I have accumulated online.<\/p><p>I am happy to share any information with genuine family history researchers.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;\">We have a strict privacy policy and we will not divulge information about living persons which is not already in the public domain<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">.<\/span><\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-11","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/seckerson.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/seckerson.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/seckerson.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/seckerson.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/seckerson.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11"}],"version-history":[{"count":112,"href":"https:\/\/seckerson.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":447,"href":"https:\/\/seckerson.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11\/revisions\/447"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/seckerson.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
