What are they and do you have one?! (I don't :()

Watching that Youtube clip of Noel Dumbrell singing Sussex By The Sea today prompted the question above....is Dumbrell very 'Sussex' for example?

I have a number of Sherwoods, Parsons, Cottons and Doves in my family tree and all seem to have a rich Sussex heritage going back 300 years and more

Cheers guys! Looks like my name is spreading in it's traditional area (South East: Essex and also including Enfield where by coincidence I moved to in 2002 - am Sussex born and bred).

Regards Langridge, I've come across that name a few times before.
