Surnames/tags: Tether Teather Tetther


Introduction
Welcome to the One Name Study of those who have the surname Tether and its variants which at this time have been identified as Teather and Tetther. These names originate in England but there are now instances all over the world and many (but not all) of these are related. In total they are believed to number several thousand.
A Note on Variants
Unless referring to a specific individual or family group, use of the word Tether should be assumed to include the variants as well. Before the age of widespread literacy, the correct spelling of surnames in church registers was patchy to say the least. Current research suggests that the oldest examples of the name used the spelling Tether hence the use of this form as the basis of the study. It is possible in some cases to map how names changed with migrations but elsewhere, different members of the same family had different spellings of their surnames.
