Notes:

There is a village in Yorkshire called Linthwaite and it is that possible my family came from there.  This site offers translations of Norse words which are still used in the Yorkshire dialect. Using this, the closest definition of the name I could find is ‘ling’ meaning heather and ‘thwaite’ meaning village or settlement.
