Rutland Lookup Requests / Re: Suter

Hi Charlie. Thanks for your post. I haven't found a link with the large cluster of SUTERs in the Rutland area. I suspect they are linked with those from Notts but have no evidence. There is also an early cluster in the Sussex/Hampshire area - again no known links.
I am related to a large cluster in the Dorset/Wiltshire/Somerset areas - mainly from Mere, Stourton, Silton and Bourton. A number left this area in the mid 1800s for Tredegar and Ebbw Vale in Wales. There are also smaller clusters in Bristol and Nuneaton - all originating from Dorset. The Dorset connection goes back to the mid 1500s. There is (or was) a family in York but most from the city are from elsewhere - possibly your ancesters.
Hope that helps
