The name was given to a person who was a person who worked as a servant of a noble lady as in ' the lady's man.' 1 2 However, another source has a different occupational background "a man who has the charge of a horse-load or of a pack-horse." 3 The name is "a Northern, particularly Yorkshire, surname." 1 Early Origins of the Ladyman familyThe surname Ladyman was first found in Lincolnshire where Rannulf (le) Lauediman was recorded in the Feet of Fines for 1202. It is thought the same person was listed in Northumberland in the Curia Regis Rolls for 1214. Geoffrey le Leuediman was recorded in Yorkshire in the 13th century and Roger Ladyman was recorded in Hertfordshire in 1296. 4 The Yorkshire Poll Tax Rolls of 1379 has some interesting spelling variations in use at that time: Ricardus Ledyman; Johanna ye Laydimayden; and Johannes Serve-ledy. 2 Early History of the Ladyman familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Ladyman research.
