Thanks Graham. With the help of your New Zealand relative, this fascinating insight has helped me isolate the Wintle Line from the rest of the Staffordshire Winkle Line in my attempt to complete the Winkle Family Tree. There are several other stray lines as well! Hope to publish soon on http://www.winklefamilyhistory.co.uk

Thanks to language hat for spreading my post around. Since I discovered that Wintle was the older spelling, I’ve met a seventh cousin once removed (our common ancestor died around 1720) who has done a great deal of research on the name. I’ll pass on Eliza’s comment about Windle to her. It might open some more avenues of research.

I blogged your post here, and Eliza came up with some interesting background that (as she says) you probably already know, but I thought I'd mention it.
