The name Cudling finds its origins with the ancient Anglo-Saxons of England. It was given to one who worked as a fisherman. The surname Cudling was originally derived from the Old English word Codling.

Early Origins of the Cudling family

The surname Cudling was first found in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. The first records of the family were found in the Hundredorum Rolls of 1273 where Robert Codling and William Codling were both listed in Lincolnshire at that time. Years later, Adam Cudelyne (Codelyng) and Robert Codelyng were listed in the Yorshire Poll Tax Rolls of 1379. 1

As the form of the English language changed, even the spelling of literate people's names evolved. Cudling has been recorded under many different variations, including Codling, Cudelyne, Codlyng, Kodling, Codelyng and many more.

Migration of the Cudling family

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 Cudling or a variant listed above: George Codling who arrived in New York in 1847.
