Europe / Is this surname Swiss?
« on: Sunday 22 October 06 17:15 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find the origins of the surname Sarbutt. There seems to be lots of variations of this including ...Sarbett..Sarbitt..Sherbet..sowerbutt & many more.
One of the Sarbutts in my husbands tree has Switzerland as his birthplace on the census.
I was not to sure about this until I made a new contact who has told me that the family story was that three brothers emmigrated from Switzaland to London (later to Suffolk).
Suggestions he has had include the name being Romansch or Romanian.
Any thoughts appreciated.
