The Somerset Ansteys

by Gary. M. Anstey, chief researcher of the Anstey story project.

Somerset ‘Anstey’, Ansty’, ‘Anstee’ and ‘Anstie’s are quite complicated. Basically there are three types of ‘Anstey’, Ansty’, ‘Anstee’ and ‘Anstie’s in Somerset, being:

• Those who connect to the South West Peninsula Anstey pedigree;
• Those who are ‘Ansteys evolved from other surnames‘; and
• Those who connect to other ‘Anstey’, Ansty’, ‘Anstee’ and ‘Anstie’ sub-branches, and subsequently moved to Somerset for whatever reason (for example Bath).

Thus far, ‘Anstey’, Ansty’, ‘Anstee’ and ‘Anstie’s in Somerset where we have begun to upload information are:

• South West Peninsula Ansteys:
  • Bathealton Ansteys (Code ‘BL‘)
  • Batheaston Ansteys (Code ‘BS‘)
  • Curry Rivel Ansteys (Code ‘CY‘)
  • Cutcombe Ansteys (Code ‘CB‘)
  • Dulverton Ansteys (Code ‘DU‘)
  • Milverton Ansteys (Code ‘MV‘)
• Ansteys Evolved from other Surnames:
  • Camerton Ansteys (Code ‘CN‘)
  • Castle Cary Ansteys (Code ‘CC‘)
  • Chewton Mendip Ansteys (Code ‘CW‘)
  • Timsbury Ansteys (Code ‘TS‘)
• Anstey sub-branches not yet connected:
  • Milborne Port Anstys (Code ‘MP‘)
