The origins of the surname Muggeridge come from the Celtic people of Wales, first found in the Breconshire area well before the Norman Conquest in 1066.
Spelling variations are Mugeridge, Mugridge, Mogridge etc. and the name belongs to those derived from settlement names. Muggeridge derives from the original name Mogridge, which was a settlement in Devon in the south-west of England.

Hey! Sorry to hear about all your troubles, however I may have some sites that could possibly help you a bit. The first one is self explanatory once you visit that site; the second one is where I have went before when having difficulty with a surname. When you get to www.rootsweb.com click on "Family Trees" which is the third block to click on at the top. Then, what I would do is just enter in your surname and see where most of the people with the same name have immigrated from. If it does not work then try putting in an earlier date, like the 1700's or 1800's. I really hope this helps!!!!!!!!

I once saw a book with the origins of surnames. Although spelled different many mean the same. Find the book. Although I find it funny a farmer was called Farmer cobbler Cobbler I know a duff and a Boldy and many more. Whats a duffer do?

Some stated already - the name is part of ones identity and of course thousends of friendships broke with this war - they used to live somehow - more or less - peacefully together in Asia Minor. - off topic - If you are interested I would suggest this book to you: Matomena Chomata by Dido Sotiriou Sotiriou was born in Aidini, Asia Minor, in 1909 and was best known for her strong portrayal of women in books about Greeks fleeing Asia Minor and the Greek civil war. The novel that shot her to fame was “Matomena Chomata,” or “Goodbye, Anatolia,” which was published in 1962 and translated into six languages.
