English Surname?

Question:

English Surname?

I need a surname that is obviously English, but not so ridiculous sounding that it can't be used as someone's name. I'm writing a story set in the late 1800's in England, and the character in question is a jewler.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: am not sure I've ever met anyone with a 'bottom' surname! some of those others are pretty suspect too.

all english surnames follow a pattern...

1)occupation (smith, corbett, cook, bagnall,Archer, Baker, Fisher)
2)geological description (Hill, Wood, Fields,marsh)
3)the name of the person's father (Thompson, Richardson, Williams, Johnson)

Ones I like that are old...
Bracegirdle, Blennerhasset, Kenedy, Hodgeson, Parker, Walker, Jones.

the name of an old jewler in the uk is H.Samuel.
