  • Notes 
    • Letter received from Reed Walsh, 23 August 2015.

      I wanted to mention something about Alice Fish Walsh Strong’s grandmother, Mary. Sometimes we have listed her surname as Waddiker, but I believe the correct spelling for her name is really Waddicor.

      Many of the church documents are recorded using the phonetic spelling. For example, her christening record lists her as Mary Wadicor. Her marriage to Thomas Fish lists her as Mary Waddiker. The records that list her as the mother of Peggy, James, Mary and Richard (the children she had with Richard Fish) say her name was Mary Waddicor.

      So there are various spellings of her name that she was known by. Why is Waddicor correct? Let’s look at her family.

      · -Her brother Edmund’s tombstone says Waddicor.

      · -Her nephew Thomas Waddicor married Peggy Fish the sister of Thomas and Richard Fish and daughter of James and Jane Fish. In the will of James Fish (a legal document) that the Strong researcher found, Thomas Waddicor is listed as the executor of the will.

      · - There is also a newspaper article about her brother Thomas’s family that lists the name as Waddicor.

      · - That article and numerous other sources are found in the Cowan family website. It is a very extensive site and has wonderful documentation that ties into the Waddicor, Fish and other Lancashire lines. Many of the family are English from Lancashire and they have local historical knowledge. Here are the links. The first link shows Mary Waddicor and her siblings.

      Lastly, here is a surname article that talks about the surname Waddicor and its variants.

      It appears that the branch of the family Mary belonged to used the name Waddicor. I think that is also the one we should use.


      Last name: Waddicor

      Recorded in several spellings including as shown below, this is a popular English surname. It is locational from any or all of the various villages called Whitacre in Warwickshire; Whitaker in Lancashire; Whiteacre in Kent; or Wheatacre near Beccles, in Norfolk. The former two places derive their name from the Olde English pre 7th Century word "hwit", meaning white or perhaps clear, with "feld", open country. This refers to land free from forest, as opposed to "aecer", meaning cultivated land. The latter two places derive from "hwaete", meaning wheat, and "aecer", cultivated ground. Locational surnames, such as this one, were originally given to the local lord of the manor, but more especially to former inhabitants who left their place of origin to settle elsewhere, and were best identified by the name of their birthplace. Early examples of the surname include: Simon de Wit Acra of Warwickshire in the year 1180; Robert de Witacra of Northamptonshire, in 1189, Richard de Whitacre of Lancashire, in 1336, and Henry Wydeacre of Yorkshire in the poll tax olls of 1379. In the modern idiom the name is spelt: Whiteaker, Whitaker, Whittaker, Whitticase, Waddikar, Waddicker, Widaker, Widdicor and others. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Richard de Wetacra. This was dated 1177, in the Pipe Rolls of Norfolk, during the reign of Henry 11nd, known as "The Builder of Churches", 1154 - 1189. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.
