- Origins Available:
England The Anglo-Saxon name Oldartynd comes from the family having resided in a region or farm with alder trees 1 or the farm of the great and wise warrior. 2 Early Origins of the Oldartynd familyThe surname Oldartynd was first found in Northamptonshire, Wiltshire, Norfolk and Suffolk, where Alderton, parishes or various sizes are still found today. The Domesday Book of 1086 lists: Aldritine in Gloucestershire and Northamptonshire; Aldritone, Wiltshire; and Alretuna, Suffolk. 3 The first record in early rolls was that of Alexander de Alreton who was listed in the Pipe Rolls of Yorkshire in 1191. Later, John de Aldrinton was found in the Assize Rolls for Worcestershire in 1221 and much later, Richard Alderton was listed in the Subsidy Rolls for Sussex in 1525. 4 Early History of the Oldartynd familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Oldartynd research.

Oldartynd Spelling VariationsOldartynd has been spelled many different ways. Before English spelling became standardized over the last few hundred years, spelling variations in names were a common occurrence. As the English language changed in the Middle Ages, absorbing pieces of Latin and French, as well as other languages, the spelling of people's names also changed considerably, even over a single lifetime. Spelling variants included: Alderton, Elderton, Eldarton, Aldarten, Eldertin and others. Early Notables of the Oldartynd familyMore information is included under the topic Early Oldartynd Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible. Migration of the Oldartynd familyIn an attempt to escape the chaos experienced in England, many English families boarded overcrowded and diseased ships sailing for the shores of North America and other British colonies. Those families hardy enough, and lucky enough, to make the passage intact were rewarded with land and a social environment less prone to religious and political persecution. Many of these families became important contributors to the young colonies in which they settled. Early immigration and passenger lists have documented some of the first Oldartynds to arrive on North American shores: John Alderton who came at the time of the "Mayflower" in 1620; and settled in Plymouth, and later in Massachusetts, at the age of 21. Another John Alderton settled in Virginia in 1663.
