Shaddock History, Family Crest & Coats of ArmsThe ancient history of the Shaddock name begins with the ancient Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. The name is derived from when the family resided at Chaddock, a hamlet in the parish in Lancashire. It is from the place-name that the surname is derived. Early Origins of the Shaddock familyThe surname Shaddock was first found in Lancashire at Chaddock, an estate in the township of Tyldesley, in the parish of Leigh. "Chaddock Hall was in possession of a family of that name in the early part of the last century [(18th century)]" 1 Listings of the family in various rolls include: Daniel Chaddocke who was listed in the Preston Guild Rolls in 1682; Ann Chaddock, of West Leigh, 1607 and Peter Chaddock, of Prescot, 1613; both listed in the Wills at Chester. The same rolls also listed John Cheydock, of Cheydock. The Lancashire Inquisitions listed John Chadocke, of Chadocke, Lancashire, 1610. 1 And many years later, Thomas Chadeck was listed in Yorkshire in 1704. 2 One source claims there may be a relationship with the Chadwick surname as seen by the following entry: John Chadwikke alias Chaddokke who was listed in Nottinghamshire in 1554. 2 Yet another source disagrees: "Not to be confounded with Chadwick, as is done in the Index to the Preston Guild Rolls." 1 To add to the confusion, Chadwick is a surname frequented to Lancashire, Warwickshire and Worcestershire name. Chadwick is "a hamlet and manor, in the parish and union of Bromsgrove, Upper division of the hundred of Halfshire, Droitwich and E. divisions of the county of Worcester." 3 Early History of the Shaddock familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Shaddock research.

Shaddock Spelling VariationsUntil quite recently, the English language has lacked a definite system of spelling rules. Consequently, Anglo-Saxon surnames are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. Changes in Anglo-Saxon names were influenced by the evolution of the English language, as it incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other languages. Although Medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, so it is common to find one person referred to by several different spellings of his surname, even the most literate people varied the spelling of their own names. Variations of the name Shaddock include Chadock, Chaddock, Chaddoch, Chadoch, Chaddocke and many more. Early Notables of the Shaddock familyDistinguished members of the family include
