WINDEATTs on the Web

About this website

This web site is principally about the Devon, UK family or families with this name.  As far as we can tell anyone with the surname WINDEATT can trace their family back to Devon where the name was once common and subject to a plethora of  spelling variations.  If you have any information or queries about any WINDEATTs, WINGETTs or WINGATEs from Devon please leave a message on the Message Board.

If your WINDEAT(T)/WINGET(T)/WINGATE family originates from somewhere else then please also keep in touch as there may be a connection.

For a discussion of the meaning, origin and development of the surname please click on the ORIGINS link above.

So far we have identified six branches of WINDEATTs in Devon.  If you can trace your WINDEAT(T), WINGET(T) or WINGATE  family back to Devon, you probably can find a place in one of these trees.  Do get in touch and help us to flesh out the information.   For more information about each of these trees go to the TREES pages.

You can SEARCH these pages from the search box top right (currently not working!).

BBC Radio 4 ran a five-part series of programmes on Surnames, Genes and Genealogy.  Sadly the summary is no longer available on their website.  However, the first programme - There's only one Mr Sykes - discussed the Sykes research that I mention on my ORIGINS page.
