Hi Mike! I think that the first step would be to find the earliest reference of the name NOOTT and examine the parish register to ascertain whether this might not have resulted from a mistaken writing of the more usual surname NOTT. In my experience this was a common occurrence and could lead to a whole branch of a family bearing a mistaken alternative of the name. In my own case VIVASH has given rise to VIVEASH with that spelling often alternating for the same individual. The respected surname analyser PH Reaney certainly makes no mention of NOOTT. If my suspicion is correct, the name NOTT is an example of the nickname category (eg SHORT, LONG, LITTLE etc) and was originally bestowed on someone with little or no hair - from the Old English word " hnott" meaning bald or close cropped. Having said all that I'd be open to correction if examples of NOOTT can be found back as far as the 11th century when the earliest NOTTs occur.

Hello Mike I don't know the origins of the name - but there have been Nootts in Pembrokeshire for quite some time. The earliest marriage in PEM I have record of is 1694 but I have seen entries on IGI for even earlier dates. I remember Nootts in Haverfordwest when I was a child there - Are you able to get all the info you need for your friend or do you need any assistance? A pity my mother is no longer around she knew the families.

I believe the pronunciation is Nayt or Noyt, so perhaps it developed to Noot or Noote In 1608 a Francis Noote lived at Capeston, a property in Walwyn's Castle parish, [source: "Historic Pembrokeshire Homes and their Families" by Francis Jones] Gerry Lewis

Hi Mike and Listers, A thought has struck me - could the name be "Nuet" or "Nute" and because of the Pembrokeshire dialect become "Noott" I Looked up Nuet names found the following: A modern face-book user by the name of Nuet who was Spanish 1851 Census Cornwall had a family named "Nuet" or "Nute" The lady was a pauper born Devon and her children born Cornwall. She was a widow. However this census name does not appear to be of English derivation so could be Continental.The census enumerator could not decide how to spell this name.

There was a family of Noott in Haverfordwest in the post war 2. One was Guy Noott and he  was in the Home Guard with my father. He had a young son but I don't remember any other details.. Vera

Hi Yvonne, Michael and all, A stab in the dark but could it be "foreign"? It may not go as far back as the Flemish settlement in the Pembrokeshire area - that's medieval, I beleive - but there are plenty of other waves of immigration to look at. Not to mention that it just may have been an individual coming in search of work / following an employer. Based on the sound of the surname (how I read it, anyway) I would lean to a Dutch or German origin. Regards, Jo Jo Thomas http://www.journeymouse.net/ Updated weekly

Hi Mike, I'm sorry I can't help you with the derivation of the name "Noott" but it seems to be confined to Pembrokeshire, and as you say, the Haverfordwest area. There was a branch in Boulston near Picton Castle in early 19th century. One son moved to Castle Hill Farm, Templeton, Narberth , before 1850. There are also present day Noots in mid Pembrokeshire. My great great grandmother (Lettice Peregrine) was a diary maid with the Nootts of Templeton in 1851. I like you, would like to know the derivation of the name.

My Uncle, Dewi Davies, has mentioned a shopkeeper in Cardiff by the name of Cadle. He sold tobacco and the shop was in either Queen Street or St Mary Street. He was married and my uncle seemed to think her name was Delia, one of two sisters. I would be interested in any connections. Anna Thomas

An interesting snippet I have just come across: The Sydney Morning Herald Wednesday 3 January 1912 (Sporting page) The late Mr. W. T. Jones the owner of Willaura was (says the "Sportsman," Eng.) known to his countrymen in Wales as William Jones, of Melbourne, on account of his connection with Australia, although he was a native of Aberystwyth, and was the son of the late Mr. Thos. Jones, draper, of Great Darkgate-street in that town. At the time of the "gold fever" he gave up a post in the school of the late Mr. John Evans, and sailed for Australia in company with the late Captain Humphreys, harbour master at Aberystwyth. At Ballarat a Cardiganshire man named Lewis was Mayor. There the youthful gold-seeker found work. Eventually he became a broker in Melbourne and during this period he made and lost two fortunes. His connection with Aberystwvth and Cardiganshire is best remembered by his generous gifts to the poor, and for years past each Christmas he has sent £100 for distribution amongst the poor of Aberystwyth and district.
