 England Early Origins of the Lightholder familyThe surname Lightholder was first found in Lancashire at Lightollers, an estate in the parish of Stockport. 1 One source presumes the Old English name was derived from "dweller by the light alders." 2 A very rare surname, the first record was that of Michael de Lightholres who was recorded here in the 13th century. 3 Moving forward hundreds of years, the Lancashire Inquisitions notes John Lightowlers, of Withnell, Lancashire, 1606-1607. The Wills at Chester record Robert Lightowler, of Wyndybank, 1620; James Chadwick, of Lightowlers, parish of Stockport. 1621; and Edmund Lightowler, of Castleton, 1633. 1 Early History of the Lightholder familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Lightholder research.
