![Show Contents]() Childerhouse History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
The origins of the Childerhouse name lie with England's ancient Anglo-Saxon culture. It comes from when the family lived in or near an orphanage; the location of the specific orphanage that gave rise to the surname Childerhouse is not known in modern times. The surname Childerhouse may have also been a nickname for an orphan, or an occupational name applied to someone who ran an orphanage. Further research showed the name was derived from the Old English word cildra-hus, which means children's house or orphanage. 1 Early Origins of the Childerhouse familyThe surname Childerhouse was first found in Yorkshire where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.

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.
