My name is William Spittle from Charlotte, North Carolina in the States. I go by Bill. My wife, Brenda and I are beginning to search for my family roots and came across your website while on the Google search engine. It had today's date (March 3, 2009), but a lot of the entries seem like a few years ago. When reading the Spittle clan page I discovered an entry by my cousin James Leiphart who entered some history about his mom Muriel Leiphart Spittle. From his description the entry was made about 2000 as he mentioned my Dad's passing. Also my cousin Suzanne Leiphart made an entry right after Jim's.

Here's some added Spittle history from what my wife and I have discovered so far. My father was William James Spittle. His only sibling is Muriel Spittle. My grandfather was James Edgar Spittle. As the previous listing stated, he was born in Muncie, Indiana and was a steel man settling in Dearborn, MI working for Ford Motor Company. He had a sister, Lillian. His father was also James Edgar Spittle, mother was Sarah James. Believe they came from Sheffield, England. Sarah's father was Samuel James, and mother Mary Ann Ward. That's as far as we've gotten so far.

My Dad, William James Spittle was born in 1925 in Highland Park, MI. He married my mom, Shirley Louden in 1945. Dad passed away on June 30, 1998 in Sun City Center, FL. My mom is still living in Sun City Center. They had 4 children Nancy Carol born 1948, myself, William Clifford, born 1953, Thomas James, born in 1959, and Robert Allen, born in 1962. Nancy lives in Wendell, Massachusetts. I live in Charlotte, North Carolina, Tom lives in Largo, Florida, and Bob lives in St. Petersburg, Florida. Our children: Nancy has 2 (Gabriel Drohen, and Brianna Drohen), I have 2 children from my first marriage, Abigail Spittle and Daniel Spittle. I remarried 4 years ago. Tom has twin sons, James & Jack Spittle and another older son who does not have the Spittle name. Bob has 2 sons, Tony and Billy.

So there is a bit of history from this small branch of the Spittle tree. We enjoyed reading the info on your site. I hope we can discover more history about our family name. Brenda has researched her family way back and she has learned how to dig and put pieces of info together to discover the right lineage.

Thanks for listening,

Bill Spittle.

Hello, My name is Joshua David Spittle. I love the website, really informative. I was hoping to find out more about the surname. In my case it is somewhat difficult. I came to have the name being that it was my mother's maiden name, given to her by her father, Thomas Spittle, whom I never met. I joke a lot about it, because my mother married when I was young, so growing up I was always...and still am...the only Spittle I know. This was a big surprise to find a site with so many people, and from all over the world, with the same name. Well anyways, would love to hear more. Thanks.

I was just researching some family history and came across your very interesting website. My maternal grandfather was Albert Spittle but no-one seems to know very much about
him. We think he was born in Middlesex, UK (possibly near Stains) about 1885. He married Alice Newmarch some time before WWI and had two children, Eileen (my mother) and Tom
who lives in Ipswich.
At some stage (in the 1930s?) he had a lengthy relationship with a woman in Bristol so there may well be a branch of the Spittle family there as well.
He died in 1943 at Exeter.
If anyone can shed further light on this branch of the family I would be very interested.
