Where did the English Charnell family come from? What is the English Charnell family crest and coat of arms? When did the Charnell family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Charnell family history? The English language only became standardized in the last few centuries; therefore, spelling variations are common among early Anglo-Saxon names. As the form of the English language changed, even the spelling of literate people's names evolved. Charnell has been recorded under many different variations, including Charnell, Charnells, Chearnell, Charnel, Charnal and many more. First found in Leicestershire where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor. The Saxon influence of English history diminished after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The language of the courts was French for the next three centuries and the Norman ambience prevailed. But Saxon surnames survived and the family name was first referenced in the year 1170 when Gilbert de Charnell held estates. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Charnell research.

For many English families, the political and religious disarray that shrouded England made the far away New World an attractive prospect. On cramped disease-ridden ships, thousands migrated to those British colonies that would eventually become Canada and the United States. Those hardy settlers that survived the journey often went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations in which they landed. Analysis of immigration records indicates that some of the first North American immigrants bore the name Charnell or a variant listed above: settlers, who arrived along the eastern seaboard, from Newfoundland, to Maine, to Virginia, the Carolinas, and to the islands.
The Charnell Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Charnell Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname. This page was last modified on 20 July 2011 at 09:03. ©2000-2013 Swyrich Corporation.
