Dave,

I would be interested. There are some Curedales in Hertfordshire and a Cuerdale, perhaps the last somewhere I think in the Midlands or North of England. There may be more hiding under stones somewhere. There was a woman called Alice Curedale living in Norway around 1910 and about 20 Curedales lived in New York from 1872 to 1990 when I think the last one died. The family seems to have many more girls for hundreds of years. I think a lot of the ancient history remains to be rediscovered in eight handwritten volumes by Dr Richard Keurden written around 1660. I believe there is a partial trancription in the Oxford library. The originals are very difficult to read and spread amongst 3 libraries in London and Manchester.

Some old sources I have read include Kuerden amongst the dozen or so variations of spelling which include Keuerdale, Keverdale, Cuerdall, Cuerdell, Curedowe, Cuardale, Curedale Cuerdale and Kuerdall. The Curedale spelling sems to date to about 1800 and the Cuerdale spelling was the most populat for about 100 years before that. Several maps from about 1650 show a town called Keverdale slightly south east of where Cuerdale Hall stands today. There is a stone cross on an intersection there that may have stood in the town.

Dave,

I will send you the destails again.

Sarah I guess you and Dave must be related somehow. Have you boths spoken to Zvi Silver in London? She also has parts of the puzzle. She is related to John Standish's Irish wife.

Could anyone look up the 2 spellings Curedale and Cuerdale for Burnley and Bolton le Moors in 1861 census.

I am building a family tree for my small family that I have traced back to around 1100.

The spellings have changed from Keuerdale 1100 to 1400
Cuerdale or Kuerdall or Curedall  1400 to 1650

Curedale or Cuerdale 1650 to present

Members lived in Cuerdale near Preston 1100 to 1400
Preston Lancashire1400 to 1900
Burnley Lancashire1750 to 1900 aprox St Peters Church
Bolton le Moors Lancshire ? to 1850 aprox St Peters Church
Dublin Ireland 1900 to present.

I am partcularly interested in finding out the parents of Edward Curedale born in Bolton le Moors 1742 and any other family members from Bolton le Moors during the 1700s.

Members of the family were part of guild in Preston from 1500 to 1640. One was an Alderman.

An early Keuerdale, Gospatric may have been the same person Gospatric de Samlesbury who built Samlesbury hall and Church because his birth and death dates seem to be the same and Cuerdale is located near to Samlesbury.

Cuerdale Hall is near Samlesbury. A viking treasure was found there in 1840.

The family has less than 40 members today. About 5 in England, 2 in Ireland perhaps 20 in Australia and 2 individuals in the US.

I am trying to trace any members of my family.

They immigrated from Lancashire around 1880 and have since lived in the Dublin area.

It is a very small family. Spelling for Lancashire members can be Curedale, Cuerdale or Cuerdall. I am buliding a tree for the family. There are only about 5 left in England today. I have traced the family back to around 1100 Keuerdale near Preston.
