AUTY Surname History
The spelling of Auty has changed over the years. The earliest spelling "Oty and Otty" came from Scandinavia, including Norway when William the Conqueror conquered England in 1066 and the Ottys came to England. The Autys also moved through France where the spelling changed to Auttie, during 1400 - 1500. In the year 1685, the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes drove thousands of Protestants (Huguenots) out of France, many settled in England. The spelling appeared in many ways, mainly because people couldn't spell. Oty, Otty, Auttie, Awty. Auty is spelled differently in England as you change regions.
The earliest that we've found our name was in Woodkirk (You may find earlier dates elsewhere for other family lines). At this time, the church records used Latin eg: Richardi Auitt 1684. The AUTY name appears to be concentrated in the Dewsbury area of Yorkshire, England, with the oldest Autie church records found there. At some point French clothiers migrated to the area and settled. Dewsbury was an open market which allowed them to trade their wares. Others became miners and farmers.
This information was provided by Russell P. Auty.
AUTY Crest
This crest of the Auty Family was used by Richard Hatt Auty. It was used from 1865 until his death in 1916. Note the fleur de lees representing our ties with France. As the story goes, we came over with the Huguenots in the year 1685 upon the Revocation of the Edit of Nantes, when they drove thousands of protestants (Huguenots) out of France. I was told by my Aunt Ettie that we arrived in Canterbury, Kent as weavers. So far I have not been able to prove or disprove this theory, having o­nly gone back to 1716 in Hague Moor, Yorkshire. A further search is required to find the origins of our Joshua Auty. The original of this Auty Crest is held by Lucie Nottingham, the daughter of Charles Harley Auty. The Crest itself is over 100 years old. [as told to me by Russell P. Auty]

Whilst attempting to separate several Charles AUTY's born c1842, I applied for a death certificate which whilst giving no more useful information by way of family relationships mentioned the fact that an inquest had been held.
This resulted of a search of the local paper proved him not to be the ancestor I was looking for but gives us the following story:

I have discovered that one of my ancestors was Sarah Auty, daughter of William, a labourer and am looking for other descendants or any information on her or her family.

Hi All,
I'm trying to find details (e.g. Married who / where / when, descendants / family, died when / where) of an Isabella (Elizabeth?) Auty, born about 1838 in Dewsbury, W.Yorks to Richard Auty (b 1796) and Hannah Auty (nee Robinson b abt. 1795). Isabella is on the 1841 census living in Fall Lane, Dewsbury and appears as an Elizabeth? on the 1851 census living in West Town, Dewsbury but I can't determine whether she married or died before 1861 where she doesn't appear on the census as an Auty.
All / any assistance / information gratefully received :)

The following is an extract from "The Reporter" newspaper
Saturday, January 13, 1872, page 5
Fatal Accident at Dewsbury
On Monday afternoon, a lad named Joshua Auty, residing at Westtown, fell from a building at Batley Carr, two storeys high, on which he was working, and received severe internal injuries. He was conveyed home, and Dr P. Thornton called, but he expired on Wednesday evening. - On Thursday evening, an inquest was held on the body, before Mr Thomas Taylor, coroner, at the Mount Pleasant Inn, Westtown. Mr Oxley was appointed foreman. - Ellen Auty, widow, said she lived in Senior Street, and the deceased, who was sixteen years of age, was her nephew. He had been apprenticed to the joinering business about twelve months. He went to his work on Monday, at noon, in good health; about half-past four the same afternoon he was brought home by his master, Samuel Blackburn. The deceased complained of pain internally. Dr Peter Thornton attended him. The deceased did not improve at all, but gradually became weaker, and died on Wednesday, at five o'clock p.m. He continued conscious up to his death. No limbs were broken. - By a juryman: He could not tell her how the accident happened. - Thomas Bairstow, a resident in Batley, said he was a joiner. The deceased and witness had been employed together for about six months. They went on Monday morning to put the roofing on to three houses at Batley Carr. The deceased had been on buildings before, but he had not experienced any dizziness when he was on the roof. The deceased went to fetch some nails, and walked on the outside wall to the place where they were, and when he had got back to where witness was working with the articles, he put his foot on the "break course," slipped, and fell to the ground, a distance of seven or eight yards. What caused the deceased to fall was that where he put his foot on the "break course" there were two bricks loose. Witness had told the deceased not to walk on the outside wall several times. - A verdict of "Accidental Death" was returned.

During the American Civil War 1861-65 Auty's served on both sides fighting for or against the effort by Southern states to secede from the Union and to preserve a society based on slave labour.
This list identifies some of those individuals and the side on which they fought, although it does not give ages or birth place, the identification of the regiment and company to which they belong is a possible starting point for further investigation

This brings the research up to date for John Auty and Hannah Thorpe. We start at AllHallows Church,where John was married in 1805
All Hallows Church London Wall, Middlesex. Film 5089/2 Page 129 Year 1805 from the All Hallows Church Register.
John Autey entry on Church Records
John Auty Batchelor married Hannah Thorpe Spinster. Both of this Parish. John signed in his own writing John Auty (not John Autey) as on the entry by the church. I will send you proof of this. Witness J.W. Newman,T. Newman and Jane Edminster. Going by this, there was no relations attend, which I was hoping to see. Reason is that Yorkshire is a long way away from London. All no sign of Joseph, again this could be that it is along way from the City and they didn't have transport like there is today. Even today, using the under ground train is a long way off to Southgate. Dont forget that there was no railways in 1805.

Here's a bit of information about Enoch Auty - given to me by Louise Maskrey.
Hi Brian,
I will try to help you with as much as I know about Sarah Auty Knight (Verry).....She was the grandmother to my foster father Everett Walter Knight......Chas. W Knight & Annie Nelson, were his parents.
Sarah Auty Knight later married George Verry who was born in 1857 and who must have died before she did as she is on the census with her son & daughter-in-law in 1920.....She said she had 6 children of which only two were alive.
There is a George Von Lewis Auty who was the son of Sarah Roberts and who must therefore be the brother of Sarah. There are alot of Sarah's and George's in that line. There is a Sarah bn 1815 who was a widow and age 65 He was born in 1853. I think this was Sarah Roberts.
A George Auty was born 8/30/09....The Auty I remembered was related to David Sumner I believe as his name was Enoch Auty and was a cousin of my Dad Everett. He was born in Foxboro MA (norfolk County) on August 8, 1883 and Died in 1960. I think he married Jennie Mason in 1912 in RI but I am not sure.....We visited him all the time as my father and he were quite close and he lived in Attleboro Falls MA close to where we lived. They were both brought up in Foxboro MA however and they were farmers before going into the jewelery business. I believe Enoch Place Auty was the father of the Enoch Auty that I knew. On the city directories in 1910 there is a George Auty living in the vicinity of the Knights on Pleasant Ave. in Attleboro MA and was listed as jeweler.
There is also a misc. will in Dec. 1930 Wrentham or Attle. Kin 1 George, Kin @ Rachel.
I think George and Enoch might have been brothers because I remember them talking about George Auty. I believe the Place connected with the Autys is from the mother of one Enoch's (surname Place...) There are many in RI.
In the directory 1890 there is an Enoch Auty listed as harnessmaker. I believe that is Enoch P bn 1855 died in 1930. In the 1911 directory Enoch Sr. listed as jeweler....
I wish I could tell you more however I was primarily interested in helping WilliamKnight with the Knight genealogy. Since I was only a foster child I knew only what I remembered my Dad telling me and having pictures of the headstones in No. Purchase Cemetery in Attleboro Ma. I don't know if any of the Auty's are buried there. David Sumner said his people were in Plainville however I am not sure about this.
Anything you may find on the census of Foxboro (Norfolk Cty) would be the proper place for these people as they had the farm adjacent to the Knight family where my Dad was brought up.
Sorry this is so cut up in info but I wrote notes and didn't make proper associations except to the people who were connected to the Knight family.
I remember Enoch well. He was a typical New Englander who wore suspenders and had huge hands as I remember....
1920 Census Enoch 37yrs. MA living with father-in-law (Mason)
Wife Jeannie 4lyrs. born in MA
Lillian 6 yrs bn in MA
Marion 4yrs. bn in MA
The father in law was Edwin Mason-68yr
Mary his wife bn. in PA
Wish I could be of more help but if I find something else I will notify you.

I've just lost all the text I entered, so I'll keep this brief now...
Does anyone have any evidence to back up the entry in Brian Auty's database which shows Christopher Auty being christened on 17 Jan 1830, in Dewsbury, and being the son of Richard and Hannah Auty? Any other ancestral information on this line would be very helpful. I have been stuck for two years.

The earliest that I found the Auty Family was in Hague Moor in 1684. This was recorded in St. Marys Church Register, Woodkirk. Reference D/108/2 Yorkshire Archives, Wakefield, Yorkshire. We started with Woodkirk because that is where our family was traced to. You may find earlier dates elsewhere. Woodkirk, which is in Yorkshire about 7 miles from Wakefield and 3 miles from Dewsbury.
We start our story with Richardi Auitt and Sarah Attock (I.G.I. records) with the birth of Richardi os Lelius (son of) Richardi Auitt about 1659 (Woodkirk Church Ref. D108/2.). The following search is from the Saint Marys Parish Church, Woodkirk. Ref. D108/2 Yorkshire Archives, Wakefield, Yorkshire. All entries were written in Latin up to 1720. Auty was spelt Auitt . Richardi Auitt born 1658 (I.G.I.) married a woman called Hannah sometime around 1683. They had a son named which was baptised December 18th, 1684 at 10 months of age. Unfortunately, there was no name entered in the files. I had checked this out since I original found the family. Richardi and Hannah had a son Gulielmus Auitt, male, baptised April 24th, 1687 as per I.G.I. Johann os Filius (son of) Richardi Auitt was baptised Octobris 3rd, 1689 at the age of 3 months old. Ref D108/2 St. Marys Parish Church Records, Woodkirk held in the Wakefield Record Office. This information was also found in original Church Records date from 1652 to 1717, which I was able to look at on June 23rd., 2005 Richardi os Lelius (son of) Richardi Auitt was baptised May 12th, 1697 at the age of 3 months. Sahara Lliliu os (Daughter of) Richardi Auitt was baptised July 6th, 1701 at 6 months. Richardi Auitt was a miner like many in the family. Richardi Auitt Snr. Died August 4th, 1713 and was buried at Saint Marys Church. Hannah, wife of Richardi Auitt deceased on January 30th, 1715. Reference D/108/2 Saint Marys Register held by Wakefield Record Office. With the exception of the word Auitt (Auty) the rest was hard to understand, unless you knew Latin. Where I wasnt sure, I asked one of the Archivists what the words meant. The Church of England until around 1720 mainly used Latin though I did find English was used in other parishes in Yorkshire. I found later in Edmonton, Middlesex that they started using English in the church, one hundred years earlier 1620. Auitt (Auty) as with Richardi Auitt 1684, was not related as far as we know of at this present time. On my visit to Wakefield Achieves June 23rd. 2005 were I was able to look at the original book, I found the spelling of Auty, where as on the finch, it was spelt as Auitt. (Latin)
The above taken from the Auty Family book 1685 - 2005
As I am one generation out, the following family maybe connected to the above.

I've just started Researching my Auty Line. Our family does not remember much about the family. I was able to get this far. There are two George Autys in the 1901 census in Dewsbury. One born 1874 and the other 1878. I'm trying to figure out which one is our George Auty.

Hi Brian,
My name is David Sumner and my grandfather on my mothers side was Enoch Place Auty born in Foxboro, MA in USA on Aug. 8, 1883 and died in North Attleboro, MA on Aug. 7, 1960. His father was Enoch Place Auty who married Adeline Wilthume. The only information that I know of my great grandparents is that she is buried in Plainville, MA. Do you have any information on this line of the family?
This privately published book is a detailed reference for the serious Auty researcher. It contains a complete record of the Auty Line that Russell belongs to, as well as some interesting
historical information about the family and the family brewery - Lion Brewery. It contains stories about the section of this family that remained in England and one branch that moved to Canada. Please contact the author Russell P. Auty to purchase a copy of this book.
The Harleys of Nelson New Zealand
by Edith Walkley and Beryl Smedley
This privately published book was released in 1989
and is still available in specialty stores in New Zealand. It contains
a complete story about the Harley family originating in England,
but the story really begins with their move to NZ. Charles Harley
married Sarah Auty in England and moved to NZ aboard the ship Aukland
in 1842. They settled in Nelson, NZ where they prospered in several
business and with their large family, became prominent citizens
of the area. Lots of details about the families involved and quite
well documented with certificates and other papers.
