Derek Allpass has kindly sent me a copy of “The Allpass Family of South Gloucestershire, 1250-1700” by Brian Carter.  This is a very good read, especially so if your name is Allpass or any of its many variants.  Derek has spent over 30 years researching his family name and more volumes are promised to bring the story up to date. If you have any information you would like to share or if you would like a copy of the book, I will be happy to pass details to Derek.
