Hello, I'm trying to research the Babey family (yes, it is an unusual name!) I think it's a very local one to Hampshire/Wiltshire, in particular the New Forest. Apparently, there are church records of Babey's in the New Forest going back to the late 1500s.
Does anyone know where the Babey name comes form originally? I've heard rumours of Normandy, France. This seems plausible as there are French names such as Babeu, Babeau and Babeux etc.
Does anyone else out there have any Babey ancestry or maybe even confirm that it's an Anglisised corruption of a French name?
Thanks.

Bolwell and Dibden as well!
I should have mentioned that I'm also interested in the (other unusual!) names Bolwell and Dibden as well. Does anybody know where these may have originated from?
Thanks.
