Mercy. If of English origin, came of french origin afore in the guise of gypsies.Records at this transition will become very scarce, as travelling gypsies failed to register their newborn.Advised path of origin therefore France.
Newport-Wales and the midlands region of England will hold recent(1900s)records.You may wish to source these and work back.
Be aware of the fore mentioned statement.
