It is generally considered that the surname Blaxall
and it's variant spellings are locative and derive from the East
Suffolk village or hamlet of Blaxhall, the earliest recorded examples being
:-
Adam de Blakesale,

Martin's Blaxills & Big Guns !
My modest contribution is My Paternal Line dating back to 1621.
I have also collated a series of extracts from the Suffolk section of Domesday Book which was compiled in the year AD 1086 by order of King William 1st, Duke of Normandy.
These extracts comprise twenty-two references to land holdings in Blaccessala, totalling 326 acres.
