Irish immigrants to FoD ?. (General)

I don't think any particular significance can be given to the name Mayo lurking around Blakeney. My first teacher in primary school in North London was a Miss Mayo. I doubt if she was Irish because I could understand her clearly. The next teacher I had was a Mrs Butler who was Scottish and I couldn't understand a word she said. In the same way my family name Essex was around in Gloucestershire at least as far back as a marriage at Minchinhampton in 1594 but nobody seems to know how "East Saxon" rolled up there.
