One-name study and family history
Find your ancestors and share your family tree connections. This site is free of charge and has no advertising. Please contact the webmaster to find out more and to contribute your own Coldwell details. The aim is to build the entire Coldwell and Couldwell family tree throughout the whole world back to the earliest times.
The Coldwell name is traceable back to the 14th C. in Austonley, a rural area on the slopes of the Pennine hills in the Holme river valley near to Holmfirth, Yorkshire, England. For several hundred years the families were mainly occupied with farming and the weaving of woollen cloth. Many of the family remain in the area today and others have migrated throughout UK and the world.
