The BLOCKSTON Family
of Nottinghamshire
The family name is possibly from Blackstone (also as Blaxton near Doncaster). The surnames Bloxham and Bloxholm are derived from the towns of those names in Warwickshire and Lincolnshire, which are said to derive from an Anglo Saxon 'Blocca'. It is possible Blocca had a farm in Nottinghamshire between the two.
Note: There are no BLOCKSTON families remaining in the UK (according to BMD from 1837 (rare BLOXTON), so all family of that name must have gone to the US where the name currently survives in numbers.
