quote:

Can't remember what a clough is but it is a well known Lanky surname.



I quote from Malcolm Bull's Trivia Trail:

Clough
[Pronounced: cluff] and derived from the same roots as cleave and cleft. Used in place names, such as Dean Clough and Colden Clough, this is a local word for a stream and for a steep, narrow valley down which the stream rushes, and comes from the Anglo-Saxon for a valley

I don't know about respect for Humphrey Bogart - my Grandma always used to call him "Humpty Go-cart"! I wonder is his surname derived from boggart? I suspect the man himself would have said his name was a shortened version of Beauregard or well-looked-upon!
