Title: Surname DUTROY
Post by: Accringtonian on Sunday 13 September 20 17:26 BST (UK)
I seek information on a (probably) Mr A DUTROY  1932 was a director of an Accrington (Lancs)  company called Tattersall & Hindle, or possibly just Tattersall's, manufacturers of 'Boudoir' carpet sweepers.  My suspicion is that he was involved in some way with the house furnishing market Any information on the company will be welcomed.

I found no person named Dutroy Birth, Marriage or Death on Free BMD.

But stand corrected if one can be found.

Thanks GirlGuide. This is not the Tattersall family that I am interested in. The photograpohers I am aware of I had my photo taken there in 1958. There was another Tattersall family who had a typewriter shop. I appreciate your response. Bob

There is a tree on ancestry with Jean Dutroy born France and from other records on ancestry it appears to be a European surname.
eg:-
Mādeleine Dutroy
Baptism
Father:   Daniel Dutroy
Mother:   Elizabeth Sorton
Baptism Date:   30 May 1708
Baptism Place:   Spitalfields, Middlesex, England
Denomination:   French Protestant
Piece Title:   Piece 4635: Eglise de St Jean, St John Street, Spitalfields (French Protestant), 1687-1823

Quite a few with that surname in later censuses in US.

I can come up with the Dutroy surname on the US census records for 1930 and 1940.  None of them have a name that starts with A though.

The male names are Kenneth, Wayne, William x 2 and Willis.  Birth years range between 1900 and 1927.
