Hi, I'm am trying to find out the meaning of the surname 'Boakes'. Purely out of interest on behalf of a friend who has always wondered and never been able to find out.
He says there are a concentration of people with the Boakes surname in Kent, England. He wonders if it is simply a form (dialectic) of Boats....I suspect not but wonder if anyone out there knows????????

Many Thanks in Advance...
