The spelling is slightly different but I am aware that over the centuries the spelling of the name has changed many times.

I believe my ancestors were Norman and came from Normandy at the time of William the Conqueror. There are records of Ottle's having been involved with the setting up/building of Ludlow Castle in Shropshire and our 'family seat' is an Elizabethan half-timbered mansion at Pitchford in the same county. Sadly the house is no longer in the family as it was gambled and lost at the end of the last century.

There is a chapel in the grounds which the present owners have said we may visit whenever we like, and on one occasion in the late 70's I was invited into the house. It is really very beautiful and there are many portrait paintings of familiy members. The owner commented that she had no doubt we were who we claimed to be, as she could recognise the family characteristics from the paintings.

One of my uncles, now deceased, researched the family tree. I have not seen his work but I shall endeavour to find out if it still exists and maybe pass on the info if you like.

Regards

Stephen Ottley

Hello distant cousin!

I am very interested in genealogy of the Ottleys (Otteles).  The Ottleys in my lineage came from Alphanstone, England.  Go to http://ottley.kinfolk.org/ to find out more about the Ottleys in England.  It looks like the site is under construction but should give you the information you are looking for.  The author of that website is Richard B. Pyne who has compiled the information on the Ottleys as well as other family's roots. 

I hope this helps.
