Historical References
"KILMINSTER. Lower and his successors record this as a Scottish surname, from Kilminster near Wick, Caithness. I have never come across the surname in record. The local pronunciation of the place name is Kilmster, which points to a Norse ending -ster. Bardsley's surnames Kilminster, Killmaster, Killmister, certainly did not derive from the Caithness place name. 0 "(The surnames of Scotland. George Fraser Black, 1866-1948)
