	A distant relation married a Minnie Onions in Derbyshire, in the 1800's In spite of it being a rather unusual surname, there are also Onions in my in-law tree. (Oldbury area) As far as I know these families are not connected. Edit. Haven't found an Onions Lewis on either side of the family.

	When my relative first told me my grandmother's maiden name I thought he said O 'nions but it's Hiorns. Imagine having to spell your surname out most of the time, must get very annoying. Lizx

	I used to know somebody with the surname onions and he didn't pronounce it as the vegetable but O ni(as in night) ons as in ('on') sorry Rose not much help in your quest though. :-)

	Many people with the surname Onions now spell it O'nions. Rather like Bucket and Bouquet!!!
