Hi Brian
On my mother's side I am of the Carlyons of North-East England, descended from the Carlyons of Breage, Cornwall. I am also both a research historian and semi-professional genealogist. Until recently I was not aware of other Carlyons in the North-East, only of an ancestor, John Carlyon (b.1852) who came to Silksworth, Co Durham to work in the coal-mine.
I wonder if there is a link, or were there more Carlyons than that?
btw Richard the Lionheart was NOT gay, but in fact a notorious womaniser. This smear came from a more recent poor interpretation of the sources, and that film.... Best read John Gillingham's 1978 biography, which throws it out.
