Unconnected Micklethwaits

The following people have not yet been added to any of the trees on this site.

To date, it has not been possible to prove a connection between them and any of our ancestors. However, there is little doubt that if not all, certainly many of the earlier Micklethwaits, are our ancestors because the majority of them originated from the area of Gunthwaite / Cawthorne and Ingbirchworth in Yorkshire.
