 England Early Origins of the Middlewick familyThe surname Middlewick was first found in Cheshire East, at Middlewich, a market town that dates back to the Domesday Book in 1086 1 where it was listed as Mildestuich and literally means "middlemost salt-works." 2 There was a settlement there since at least the time of the Roman occupation and has always been an important center for the extraction of salt. The Romans called the place Salinae because of its surrounding salt deposits and this has remained the principal industry for the past 2,000 years.

 Middlewick migration to New Zealand | + |
Emigration to New Zealand followed in the footsteps of the European explorers, such as Captain Cook (1769-70): first came sealers, whalers, missionaries, and traders. By 1838, the British New Zealand Company had begun buying land from the Maori tribes, and selling it to settlers, and, after the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840, many British families set out on the arduous six month journey from Britain to Aotearoa to start a new life. Early immigrants include: Middlewick Settlers in New Zealand in the 19th Century- Mr. William Middlewick, (b. 1818), aged 41, British settler travelling from Gravesend aboard the ship "Roman Emperor" arriving in Lyttlelton, Christchurch, South Island, New Zealand on 26th January 1860 3
