Etymology of SandbatchWhat does the name Sandbatch mean? The origins of the Sandbatch name come from when the Anglo-Saxon tribes ruled over Britain. The name Sandbatch was originally derived from a family having lived in the market-town of Sandbach which was found in the county of Cheshire. Cheshire lies on the border between England and Wales; it is the northernmost county on the border. Devastated in the 11th century by border wars between William the Conqueror and the Welsh, Cheshire's border with Wales fluctuated over the next several centuries. Today, the western portion of the Domesday era county is in Wales. 1 The place name dates back to the Domesday Book of 1086 when it was known as "Sanbec." 2 Literally it means "sandy valley-stream," from the Old English "sand" + baece." 3 Early Origins of the Sandbatch familyThe surname Sandbatch was first found in Cheshire at Sandbach. While this is where the family hails, we must look to Staffordshire to find the first records of the family. For it is there that Richard de Sandebech and Roger de Sandbach were listed in the Feet of Fines 1227 and 1254. 4 "The township of Sandbach gave its name to an ancient Cheshire family which flourished up to the 13th century." 5 Early History of the Sandbatch familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Sandbatch research.

| Sandbatch 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: Sandbatch Settlers in New Zealand in the 19th Century- James Sandbatch, who arrived in Auckland, New Zealand aboard the ship "Andrew Jackson" in 1865
