hello gwen,sorry about the delay in getting back to you.we were researching tithes on my mothers side,they were from Baltinglass area and I have been told that the connection to the Tuttys in newcastle was slim.My great grandparents were both Tuttys from different Tutty families.My fathers side also had Tuttys in his family.They were from Templerainey,Arklow and Avoca,CO.Wicklow.We thought that your Edward might have been related to them.But not sure now.My great grandfather was William Tutty.b 1830,son of Edward Tutty.William MARRIED Catherine Newe from Avoca,all the children were baptised in Kilbride church and Avoca Catholic church.We think that Williams father was originally from Avoca area.A lot of our Tuttys went to England and America and I am looking at a lot of overseas Tuttys.
I have some deaths from that area which might be related to your Tuttys.
