“thwayt” is an unusual spelling, but Postlethwaite is certainly a real name - Pete Postlethwaite was in The Usual Suspects
Pete Postlethwayt was a great actor from Liverpool
It sounds more Welsh than Liverpoolian…
Not enough consonants to be welsh, “thwaite” is a distinctly northern english word descended from the old norse for meadow.
Indeed, Braithwaite is another one
I used to know a Dr Thistlethwaite, so Postlethwayt/-thwaite doesn’t seem strange to me.
Yeah, Pete Postlewait is an awesome character actor with a lot of range and credits in a lot of brilliant movies.
