A further variant is as a nickname from the Medieval English "Gere", meaning a wild violent and passionate person as in Joscelyn Gere of Suffolk, c.1185. The name development also includes Henry Garr who was recorded at St. Dunstans in the East London in 1570, Margaret Garre (1643, All Saints, Newcastle Upon Tyne) and John Garr who married Mary Widdall at Edlingham, Northumberland in 1668. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of John de la Gare. which was dated 1181, in the "Pipe Rolls of County Kent". during the reign of King Henry 11, known as "The Church Builder", 1154 - 1189. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.
