Was the town (or village?) of Retallack named after any particular individual?
I have ancestors named Retallack (UK) who were originally from Cornwall, migrated to Sunderland, Co Durham (UK) and then emigrated to Pennsylvania in the early 1870s`, where a Henry Jnr was born.
Apparently, they did not stop for long as they were back in Sunderland in time for the 1881 Census where their name is recorded as `Battalack`!
Any help/info greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Jim
