Thanks you Andrea for your time and generosity, I would liek to request a lookup of DOUTHIT and it's various spellings : DOWTHWAITE, DOUTHWAIT(E), DOUTHART. DOUTHERT, DOUTHIRT, DOUTHITT, DOUTHAT, DOUTHET, DOUTHAL, DOWTHIT, TOUDETH, TOUDITH, DOUTHID. I've seen reports of them in Yorkshire, Aberdeen and Coleraine, Londonderry , North Ireland. Coleraine and Londonderry were supposedly colonized mostly by Londoners (Reid's History of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland...part of which is on-line...see URL below)...but...since they specialized in weaving the finest linen for the finest dress shirts , I wonder if some Huguenot silkweavers had adapted to political pressures instigated by the trade guilds and moved first to Aberdeen, Scotland and then pushed on to Coleraine when some good offers were made to attract colonists to the "Plantation" of Northern Ireland after the Flight of the Earls.
