No Memories Just Connected By Name

A Memory of Rake Firs.

Hi, I have never been to this quaint town, but I share its name. The name Rake comes from the old English word Harca, meaning throat, and topographically means someone that lives near a cliff or a cleft in a hill.

My Rake ancestors come from Marnhull, Dorset. I live in Coffs Harbour on the east coast of Australia in the state of New South Wales.
