Etherington

I have a problem which I am sure somebody there can solve. I am currently updating the ETHERINGTON side of my tree, my own immediate Etherington’s all hail from Sussex and are pretty up to date, but I also keep up a Hampshire Etherington tree, partly because some of them appear in my husband’s Tribe tree, but also on account of Eian Etherington’s tree which I have and which covers both Surrey & Hants as well as connecting with my own Sussex tree. The Etherington’s though

well spread are not the easiest to research as so far I have found 11 different variants in the way they spell their name! Due to living in Australia much of my research is based on the parish Index CD’s which I purchased from you some years ago. This week I was working on two early Etherington families who seem to hail from Alton, but I find that on the baptism CD dated from 1660 – 1751 the baptisms for that branch of the family - lurking under the spelling of Hetherington - all stop dead
