 Scotland England The Mundle surname is one of the names that came to Britain with the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. The name was de Magneville or de Maneville and derives from a place in Normandy. 1 Early Origins of the Mundle familyThe surname Mundle was first found in Wigtownshire (Gaelic: Siorrachd Bhaile na h-Uige), formerly a county in southwestern Scotland, now part of the Council Area of Dumfries and Galloway where they were granted lands by King David of Scotland. They were perhaps related to Geoffrey de Mandeville (d. c. 1100), an important Domesday tenant-in-chief, who was granted large estates in Essex, and in ten other shires by William, and was Constable of the Tower of London. His descendent Geoffrey de Mandeville (d. 1144,) was created the 1st Earl of Essex. "Sir Henry de Mundeville rendered homage in 1296 [to King Edward I of England], and as Sir Henry de Mundewyl was juror on an inquest on the lands of Lady la Zuche in Wigtownshire in the same year. Roger de Mandeville was a competitor for the crown of Scotland in 1291. Henry de Mundeville made a gift of three acres of his territory of Glengelt to the Abbey of Dryburgh, and in 1297 was invited by Edward I to go on an expedition to Flanders. Robert Mundell was tenant in the barony of Mousewall, 1673, and James Mundell was examined for the Test in 1685. Mundells are still numerous in Dumfriesshire." 1 Early History of the Mundle familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Mundle research.

For many English families, the social climate in England was oppressive and lacked opportunity for change. For such families, the shores of Ireland, Australia, and the New World beckoned. They left their homeland at great expense in ships that were overcrowded and full of disease. Many arrived after the long voyage sick, starving, and without a penny. But even those were greeted with greater opportunity than they could have experienced back home. Numerous English settlers who arrived in the United States and Canada at this time went on to make important contributions to the developing cultures of those countries. Many of those families went on to make significant contributions to the rapidly developing colonies in which they settled. Early North American records indicate many people bearing the name Mundle were among those contributors:
