It might be supposed that this surname was not a distinct one, but only another form of Duthais. But the names are quite different. Duthoit was a refugee surname both in Norwich and in Canterbury, and was sometimes spelt Du Toict Estienne Duthoit was an ancien of the Canterbury French Church; he was born in May 1600, and died in April 1680. The name frequently appears in the registers. There was a second Estienne, probably the elder’s son. A representative is Jonathan Duthoit, who was elected Director of the French Hospital of London on 5th July 1873.
