Hi Bernard,

Just a random question..

Am I right thinking that you discovered our original family name was Outhwaite (norse origin) before it was written as Oughtred in the 1700s and we’re not from the prominent Ughtred family that people commonly think? I saw a reference to an Outhwaite in your work and thought “Aaah, he knows”.

Correct me if I’m wrong, I think our common ancestor is Richard Oughtred and Ann Ableson of Guisborough.

Luke Outhred
