Hey Sean.

This might be interesting. A few years ago I was travelling in Venice and I noticed that a common surname there was Bevilacqua, which translated literally into English is Drinkwater. (Bevi = Drink, Lacqua = Water). So I got to thinking. Did the Bevilacquas migrate from Italy to England or the Drinkwaters migrate from England to Italy.

So I guess what I'm asking is what does your book say about the origins of the name Drinkwater.

Regards

Claude
