A few years ago, I got to thinking about how you could preserve your name in some way for future generations. Not just in your photos, data, stories that you collect along the way, but something more solid that will stand the test of time. It really got me thinking because of the scarcity of my name (Chiddicks), that at some point in the future the name could actually die out completely, in my direct line for example, if my son fails to produce a son my direct line dies out.
Anyway to cut a very long story short, I wrote to my council with the history of my humble ag.lab ancestors who for generations lived, worked and married all in the same area, about the possibility of using the name in some way. After a few years an opportunity has now arisen and a new development of houses and flats in the area where my ancestors lived has now been officially names as "Chiddicks Court".
Just wanted to share the story and it might give some people an idea of using their name in some way for posterity.
