Early Origins of the Authard family
The surname Authard was first found in
Suffolk where the surname is descended from the
tenant Uthret, recorded in 1066 and again in the
Domesday Book census of 1086. However, some of the family were found at Towthorpe in the East Riding of
Yorkshire in ancient times. "This place is said to have formerly had a village that was destroyed by fire, and to have been the seat of the ancient family of Ughtred."
