User Home Pages: HEATHERWICK FAMILY HISTORY
The name Heatherwick has been traced back to 1261 in Aberdeenshire, Scotland by W.F.H.Nicolaisen, a Scottish academic.The Old Parish Registers record the first Heatherwicks around 1630. There have been some variations in spelling including Hetherwick, Hedderwick ahd Hatherwick, but Hatherwick seems common only for about 80 years from the 1760s to 1840s. There are some 80 Heatherwick entries in the white pages telephone directories of UK, USA, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.There is also a family of Hetherwicks in the USA southern states centred on Louisiana and neighbouring states. The Louisiana Hetherwicks probably link to the Aberdeenshire Heatherwicks around the mid to late 18th century. Geoffrey Heatherwick of Queensland, Australia is assembling a Heatherwick family history with the view to linking the Heatherwicks alive today into the one family history. Considerable progress has been made in linking the Australian, New Zealand, Canadian, Welsh and English Heatherwicks to the parent tree originating in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
