Sandland Family Introduction

My Sandland Family

The Sandland name is scattered all over the World. These pages are all about the Sandland family and/or name mainly in the UK. Information is constantly being added  so please keep visiting.

According to my research, my family came from the county of Shropshire, England with indications that they, the Shropshire 'clan', migrated from Worcestershire. Records show that most of the family members were involved in the agricultural industry and worked as farm hands or labourers. During the 1800's travelling seemed to become easier and some family members migrated towards London and became merchants or tradesmen (for example, Jewellers and shop owners). Others are recorded to have migrated to places in West Midlands, Staffordshire, Yorkshire, Derbyshire and overseas.

During the 1800's, my Great Grandfather Thomas moved from Shropshire into the county of Cheshire and settled in the rural area of Stapeley, Nantwich. He had quite a large family, 14 children, and most of the Sandland named in my area (Nantwich/Crewe, Cheshire) descended from him !!!

Some of the Sandland named emigrated to other countries such as the United States of America, Canada and Australia. There are direct links in my lineage to Australian Sandland families, notably John Chesters Sandland emigrated in 1847 and Robert (son of Robert (1918)) emigrated about 1960. There are also three of the Sandland name who were convicts and were transported, two to Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania) and the other to Western Australia.
