Like most " trade names " Plowman is nio=ot restricted to one specific area of the UK It can be found in Wiltshire and southern England .My Plowmans are from the far north of Scotland in Wick or to be specific Reiss . There is no genealogical connection as far as I am aware with Plowmans from the other airts . There seem to have been two families in the Wick area and although I have an extensive data base have so far been unable to establish a coonection with the " Whaligoe " Other names in the tree are Cormack ( Keiss and Aucorn ) and Bremner ( the Ulbster lot ) . My daughter married into the Beggs and Oags also from tee Wick area so grand children Aimeee and Finlay James have double connections !
