Early Origins of the Kilshaw familyThe surname Kilshaw was first found in Lancashire at Culcheth, a township, in the parish of Newchurch, union of Leigh, hundred of West Derby. 1 "The Culcheths of Burscough spelt their name variously as Culcheth, Culshaw, and Kilshaw. 'The place is called Kilsha by the locals.'" 2 Here we find the earliest records of the family, that of: Henry de Culchet, Lancashire; and Gilbert de Kulchet, both in 1201. 2 The Assize Rolls of 1246-1247 list Gilbert de Culchit in Lancashire as does the Feet of Fines for Lancashire in 1359, lists Gilbert de Culchith. 3 Later the source Wills at Chester includes entries for William Kilshaw, of Burscough, 1617; Geoffrey Culcheth, of Hindley, 1585; Thomas Culcheth, of Leigh, 1611; John Kilshaw, of Burscough, 1619; Edward Culshaw (Culcheth), of Burscough, 1641; John Culcheth, of Culcheth, parish of Winwick, 1640; and William Culcheth, or Culshaw, of Burscough, 1665. 4 Early History of the Kilshaw familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Kilshaw research.
