Has anyone heard of this surname?!
My GGrandfather was John James Navein B: 1883 in Everton
His father was Michael Navin B:1858 in Ireland (he had a twin called Patrick)
His father before that was John Navin B:1827 Ireland.
I know that surnames are often corrupted through bad spelling etc however it seems odd that a letter was inserted!! (It's still pronounced Navin). I've tried tracing Patrick Navin's decendants but with no luck.
On JJ Navein's marriage cert. the name has been corrected (an e inserted), strange....!
Having no idea whereabouts in Ireland they were from I can't really look into that route either.
Any ideas greatly received!
