BOTTRILL IN ENGLAND, AUSTRALIA, CANADA, UNITED STATES
'Bottrill' is a fairly common spelling in Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Yorkshire. You tend to get 'Boterell', 'Botterel' and 'Bottrell' in Shropshire, where Aston Boterell is named after the family.
There are few of us left in Cornwall now, so Boscastle (Botereles Castel) is no longer held by the family. 'Botteril' is more common in Australia, while the US has both 'Bottrill' and 'Bottrell'.
Americans may be interested in the George Washington connection.
The history of the Bottrill family goes back to before the Norman Conquest. The Boterel family can now be found in Australia, America,Canada, and many counties in England - Yorkshire, Northamptonshire, Shropshire and London. The history of the family can be followed in a series of historical novels, the first being 'The king's toads'.
