Early Origins of the Titterington family

The surname Titterington was first found in Cheshire at Titherington, a township in the parish of Prestbury. 1

One of the first record of the family was Jordan de Tyderinton who was listed here in 1250. Later in Yorkshire, William de Tyveryngton was listed as a Freeman of York, 11 Edward II (during the eleventh year of King Edward II's reign.) and later, John de Tyderynton was vicar of Sandback in 1356. 1
