Welcome to my website

The purpose of this website is to contact and exchange information with others who have an interest in the Paget surname, with it’s variants Pagett, Paggett, and Padget.

I started my Paget One Name Study in 2000, initially to trace my own Paget ancestors in Shoreditch, London, but my interest in the name began to encompass all the different Paget lines throughout the country.

The Pagets came from all walks of life and cut across all social classes, as well as geographical areas.  There does not seem to be any one point of origin for the name, but there are several areas of concentration, mainly Gloucestershire/Worcestershire, Leicestershire and Yorkshire.  In the latter county, ‘Padget’ is the more usual variant.
