Surrey pn Frankingham appears all a sudden in 1400s. Derived from Lincs locative byname on basis of https://archive.org/stream/historytownandc00palmgoog#page/n260/mode/2up/search/Frankingham …?

Same person in slightly earlier work here, spelled "Faukingham": https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=6b9zJAIC0bEC&pg=PA84&lpg=PA84&dq=%22faukingham%22#v=onepage&q=%22faukingham%22&f=false … ...so, guessing form of Folkingham?

Interesting! I found this late source that rightly or wrongly seems to link it to Framingham, Norfolk http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/record?catid=6540040&catln=6 …

Yes! 18thC source I linked says Repington's one=def Lincs, so looking at 2 independent instances of an ingaham name in F~ >
