Lindow History, Family Crest & Coats of ArmsThe name is thought to have meant "dweller at the Lime-Tree [Bluff or Ridge [Old English lind + hó, a (projecting) ridge, &c.] There is a Lindow (End) in Cheshire." 1 Early Origins of the Lindow familyThe surname Lindow was first found in "Lindall, in Furness, North Lancashire, a hamlet two miles from Ulverston. This became Lindaw, and then Lindow. Lindow has crossed the Duddon into Cumberland." 2 "Canon Bardsley, who was Vicar of Ulverston [Cumbria], records that Lindall (or Lindale), the name of a hamlet near that place, was locally weakened into Lindaw and then Lindow." 1 Lindal in Furness and Lindale are both found in Cumbria (formerly Cumberland.) Both date the 13th century c. 1220 and c. 1246, respectively. 3 Early records are very scarce, but we did find Elizabeth Lindoe, baptised at Ulverston in 1546. 2 The Lyndop and Lindop variants hail from Shropshire where Robert Lyndop was recorded in the 13th century. "There was a family of Lindop in Shrewsbury during the first half of last century." 4 Early History of the Lindow familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Lindow research.
