However, both communes and cantons were only created c.1790 at the beginning of the French revolution.<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantons_of_France<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communes_of_France<br /><br />I think I need to check the original Norman Pipe Rolls to see the spelling that was used in the originals. I wonder if Creus-Anisy is perhaps an old name for Anisy with Creus denoting the family association. The Creus part could have been dropped after the French Revolution. This happened in Devon: Anstey Cruwys became East Anstey; Rackenford Cruwys became Rackenford.Debbie Kennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11573470282571579765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7238849140976286627.post-42462989150901882732010-05-27T23:00:07.992+01:002010-05-27T23:00:07.992+01:00According to The Government of England Under Henry...According to <i>The Government of England Under Henry I</i> by Judith A.
