Winsborough Family History
Winsborough Name Meaning
from Winsbury in Chirbury (Shrops) or perhaps from Winsbury near Marksbury (Somerset) though medieval evidence for a surname from the Somerset place has not been found. The Somerset place is recorded as Wineces burug in 963 and derives from the Old English personal name Winuc (genitive Winuces) + Old English burg ‘fortress’. The Shrops place-name may derive from the Old English personal name Wine (genitive Wines) + Old English burg.
