WIDDOWSON FAMILY HISTORY

 

Commemorating 125 years in Australia 1881 – 2006

The family name Widdowson clearly means son of a widow. It has had many other spellings, such as Widdeson, Widdison and Widderson.

Our family descends from Alfred Shepherd Widdowson, who migrated to Australia in 1881. He settled in Georgetown, Tasmania, where many Widdowsons remain to this day.

We have traced our family tree back to Robert Widdowson (c1710 – 1783) of Hucknall, near Nottingham in the UK, where many Widdowsons originate.
