Old photograph of children in Cherry Lane in Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. Cherry is a name that was carried to England in the great wave of migration from Normandy following the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Cherry family lived in Lincolnshire. They are descended from the line of the House of De Cheries, Seigneurs of Brauvel, Beauval, in Normandy, near Avranches. The name Cherry is derived from the Anglo Norman French word, cherise, which means cherry, and was probably used to indicate a landmark, such as a cherry tree, which distinguished the location bearing the name.
