WHITTER/WITTER/WITTA
« on: Tuesday 03 August 04 23:49 BST (UK) »
HI.Have done a lot of research on the surname Whitter/Witter/Witta.Still loads more to do.Interested in ancient history.It is reckoned that the name Witta/Whiiter originally came over with the Normans/flemings - has any one any more information or know of any families of this  period with the name.

Hannah bapt 20 may 1787
James bapt 19 jan 1790
Joseph bapt 3 may 1792

Hannah Witter married Thomas Spragg 14 may 1807 at Goostrey.

Does this fit with any of your research?
