Etymology of Kydale

Of all the Anglo-Saxon names to come from Britain, Kydale is one of the most ancient. The name is a result of the original family having lived in a parish named Kiddal near Leeds. Other references beleive the name to be an occupational name for one who was a fisher of rivers, but our research proves that this is a less likely origin.

Migration of the Kydale family

Thousands of English families in this era began to emigrate the New World in search of land and freedom from religious and political persecution. Although the passage was expensive and the ships were dark, crowded, and unsafe, those who made the voyage safely were rewarded with opportunities unavailable to them in their homeland. Research into passenger and immigration lists has revealed some of the very first Kydales to arrive in North America: Sara Kiddall, who sailed to Virginia in 1623 with two children; and Margaret Kiddle, who journeyed to Virginia in 1704.
