The Childs FamilyI have information on the Childs family going back to approximately the year 1130 — possiblyearlier.

Please feel free to contact me if you would like toknow more about any [Childs—Child—Childe] information I may have. Robert E. Whittaker,November, 1999

Introduction

The following history of the Whittaker name is something I picked up years ago during my re-search, and I do not recall where nor am I able to give credit to the author. Should anyone knowwhere this information came from, please let me know! If you are reading this on a computer andwant to skip the history of the name, you can click here to jump ahead; if you are reading the hardcopy version you will have to scan ahead.

“As to the origin of the name Whittaker, which has had a variety of spellings, researches indicatethat this is the name of a very old and well-known family in England, originating in the midlandand northern sections of the country, chiefly in the counties of Lancaster and Warwick and thatthe Whittaker family derived their name from one of a number of parishes so-called in Warwickshireand other localities.

“Etymologists differ somewhat as to the exact origin of the name, but they all agree as to its beinga place name. It is doubtful if the cognomen dates earlier than the thirteenth century because ofthe general lack of surnames among the people and because the consonantal digraph only appearsin the court rolls towards the end of that century.”

“Furthermore, the Old English spelling was not entirely replaced for two centuries; the four forms,prefixing the name, “Hw”, “Qw”, “W” and “Wh” sometimes appeared almost side by side in thenational records. The spelling of Whittaker in the thirteenth century was Whytacre or Whitacre,indicating that individuals were bearing this name in that century, the earliest on record. For ex-ample, a Richard de Whytacre, is listed in the Valor Ecclesiasticus, a church tax list, and a Jordan deWhytacre is found in the Placita de Quo Warranto, a court document, both names thus being pre-served in thirteenth century manuscripts. In 1324 on a list of English surnames a Del Will’O deWhitacre is discovered on the records of persons fined at the hallmote of Ightenhull during thereign of Edward II. In the fourteenth century other spellings occur as Whitaccre in the shire ofWorcester and Wheatacre in Norfolk; while in 1323 an Adam de Whitekar is found on the courtrolls for Lancastershire.”

“With reference to the original meaning of the Anglo-Saxon syllables used to make up the name,authorities differ. One source says that the “acre” referred to the corn land, ploughed or sown, andmay be found in such combinations as Oldacre, Longacre or Whitacre. Other researches indicatethat the name is derived from the north part of a graveyard, usually allotted to the poor, from“wite” a penalty, and “acre” a place of burial. Or again the syllables mean the northeast part of aflat or shoal -- the middle ground. Another reference cites that the first syllable means “white” andrefers to color and “acre” to ground. One might conclude that the name with its two parts appliesto the land and the color of the land. A combination of “white” with “acres” in the acceptedmeanings of those terms is as good an interpretation as can be found.”

“In the Parish Register of England, 1910 edition, identified on the list for 1538 is a geographicaldivision known as Wheatacre Burgh, Norfolk, and in 1539 a Whiteacre, Nether Warwick. For the

Page 2 Whittaker Family

same period is listed a Reverend H. H. Whitaker, vicar of Altham. These facts indicate that by thesixteenth century the name was becoming well known.”

“In Burkes’ General Armory occurs the reference to the Whitakers of the Holme, Lancaster County,one of the oldest families with the longest line of proved descent and assumed to be the progeni-tors of most all by that name. This family is derived from Richard Whitaker of Holme, Esquire,living in 1543, the great grandson of Thomas Whitaker of Holme, A.D. 1431.”

“A number of Whittaker families, dating their ancestry from the sixteenth century, are identifiedin Burkes’ publications. The most distinguished of the name was the celebrated divine, the Rever-end William Whittaker, professor of Divinity at Cambridge University, whose library was so fa-mous that is was purchased after his death by Queen Elizabeth I.”

“In the Whittaker coat of arms the three mascles, silver in color, appear against a sable back-ground, forming the basic design of the achievement. Occasionally the fess will be used, a widehorizontal band across the middle of the escutcheon. Whether the name is spelled with one orwith two t’s, according to the tradition of the family, the coat armor has the same basic design onthe escutcheon, while the crest ever differs and so will the motto below the shield.”

“As has been shown, the name has been in existence since the beginning of the thirteenth century,from the time of the quaint Anglo-Saxon lettering of “de Whytacre” to the modern spelling ofWhitaker or Whittaker.”

I had hoped to trace the name Whittaker further back than I have thus far. I have had good successwith many other ancestral lines and hope to have more on Whittaker in the near future.
