Unitts of Shrops

Post by Dennis »

Unusual surname, Unitt, yet there seemed to be plenty of them around Shropshire, especially the workings on the Clee Hills around Caynham. I have one from there, Lewis Unitt who married an Oldbury woman, Sarah Windmill, with whom I have various family connections. Might be be some link, see what you think:
