Hello. I've always thought I was from English descent, but now I'm not sure. A British friend told me my surname's Cornish, so I'm checking it out here, in the Surname Interest forum in a thread for "Poling." I look forward to any conversation.

Hi Travis and welcome to this site where we will give you all the help we can to find some answers. I must say that yours is not a surname I know but that does not mean a lot. Let's hope there is a Cornish ancestry involved. But should it prove otherwise then I will be happy to help you find answers elsewhere. I notice you have added another posting so I will take a look and work from there. CT

Hello and welcome,
At first glance the name POLING did not say anything to me however given the propensity of our Cornish ancestors to spell names in a hundred different ways I thought perhaps it may derive from Pauley/Pawley/Pauling. I did an England all counties check and there were thousands of variants of this name. It does not appear to be specifically Cornish but it does appear to be more prominent in the (South) West, especially Gloucestershire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Devon and Cornwall. This does not mean your family were not Cornish, not all Cornish surnames derive from the Cornish language, eg. Hicks, Weeks, Richards etc. Can you provide us with some more information about where your Grandparents, G-Grandparents etc were from perhaps? I did a quick IGI check for Cornwall and found the following:- (I have highlighted the names nearest to and/or equal to POLING)
