Ansett Family History

Ansett Surname Meaning

Perhaps a variant of Anstead with devoicing of final /d/ to /t/ and dissimilatory loss of the first -t-. Compare Edwd. Ansted 1726 in IGI (Womenswold Kent) with the 1724 bearer below.

Perhaps an irregular variant of Ansell; see William Ansett alias Ansell 1866 in TNA (Chart Sutton Kent) and compare William Ansell 1711 in IGI (Hernhill Kent) with the 1713 bearer below.

However, it is likely that the name Ansett alias Ansell represents scribal uncertainty as to whether -tt or -ll was the correct form of the name rather than Ansett and Ansell being interchangeable surnames.
