Early Origins of the Gildart family

The surname Gildart was first found in Yorkshire 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.

But Saxon surnames survived and the family name was first referenced in the year 1284 when William Geldehyrde held estates.
