When I first contacted Alison Hemming of the IVIN One Name Study [Guild of One Name Studies] it was a pleasant surprise to find we were connected.  But in fact Alison has found that nearly all people bearing this name in the country today can be traced back to one John IVIN who appears in Quenington about 1710 [see below]

Some of the IVINs were Stone masons and worked on St. Swithin’s church
