Orgin of Allsbrook

Hi Stacy,
My name is Ken Allsebrook (with an e!) and I live in Sheffield, England.
I'm trying to research my family tree and despite the slightly different spelling, I am sure our names come from the same root.
Some years ago, I contacted another Allsebrook, in Australia, and asked if he knew where we originated. He sent me a pile of information which researched "Allsebrook" back through the ages.
He suggested that the name was the family name of the Royal house of Wessex (an old English county) but I have never been able to verify this fact!
There are a lot of Allsebrooks in England and many of them live or lived around Nottingham which is a city about 35 miles south of Sheffield. My particular branch of the family is pretty big - my father (William) was one of nine children, all but two of them boys!
Anyway, if I get any further with the "Royal House of Wessex" theory, I'll let you know!
