| ![Show Contents]() Carwardine History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
The name Carwardine is of Anglo-Saxon origin and came from when the family lived in Carden in Cheshire. The place-name was rendered as Kawrdin in the mid-13th century, and as Cawardyn in the mid-14th century. Early Origins of the Carwardine familyThe surname Carwardine was first found in Hertfordshire where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor of Carwardine from very ancient times. They also held estates in Essex. 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 is not only recorded in Herts, but later, in 1302, we find them in the county of Cheshire, where in general, the pronunciation and spelling became the simplified Cardin, as in Chumley from Chomondelly. Richard de Carwardine is recorded in Cheshire in 1302. Early History of the Carwardine familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Carwardine research.

Carwardine Spelling VariationsIt is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, early Anglo-Saxon surnames like Carwardine are characterized by many spelling variations. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages, even literate people changed the spelling of their names. Scribes and monks in the Middle Ages spelled names they sounded, so it is common to find several variations that refer to a single person. The variations of the name Carwardine include: Carwardine, Carwardyne, Cardin, Carden, Cardon and many more.

| Carwardine migration to the United States | + |
Many English families tired of political and religious strife left Britain for the new colonies in North America. Although the trip itself offered no relief - conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and many travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute - these immigrants believed the opportunities that awaited them were worth the risks. Once in the colonies, many of the families did indeed prosper and, in turn, made significant contributions to the culture and economies of the growing colonies. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Carwardine or a variant listed above:

Emigration to New Zealand followed in the footsteps of the European explorers, such as Captain Cook (1769-70): first came sealers, whalers, missionaries, and traders. By 1838, the British New Zealand Company had begun buying land from the Maori tribes, and selling it to settlers, and, after the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840, many British families set out on the arduous six month journey from Britain to Aotearoa to start a new life. Early immigrants include: Carwardine Settlers in New Zealand in the 19th Century- Kate A. Carwardine, aged 20, who arrived in Wellington, New Zealand aboard the ship "Waimea" in 1876
Carwardine Settlers in New Zealand in the 20th Century- Cephas Carwardine, aged 18, who arrived in Auckland, New Zealand aboard the ship "S. S. Waimana" in 1926
