Neighbourhood profile for Calladine

Modern surname records can be compared with neighbourhood classifications. For Calladine, this points to the kinds of places where the surname is most concentrated today.

These neighbourhood labels describe areas, not individual people. They are useful because surnames often cluster through family history, migration, housing patterns and local work. A surname can be strongest in one type of neighbourhood even when people with that name live across the country.

The UK classification gives the national picture. The London classification is more specific to the capital, where housing, age profile, tenure and population mix can look quite different from the rest of the UK.

UK Output Area Classification

Supergroup

Semi- and Un-Skilled Workforce

Group

Young Families in Industrial Towns

Nationally, the Calladine surname is most associated with neighbourhoods classed as Young Families in Industrial Towns, within Semi- and Un-Skilled Workforce. This does not mean every Calladine household fits that profile, but it gives a useful signal about where the modern surname distribution is strongest.

Read profile summary

Group profile

These neighbourhoods house predominantly young, UK-born individuals identifying with a White ethnic group with dependent children. Long-term disability and unpaid care are prevalent, and religious affiliations are uncommon. Housing is terraced or semi-detached and social rented sector housing is the norm. Unemployment is above the Supergroup average, and employment is principally in elementary occupations, as process plant and machine operatives, or in caring and leisure services. Educational attainment is low. The group is scattered throughout former industrial towns in the Midlands and the South Wales Valleys.

Wider pattern

Living in terraced or semi-detached houses, residents of these neighbourhoods typically lack high levels of education and work in elementary or routine service occupations. Unemployment is above average. Residents are predominantly born in the UK, and residents are also predominantly from ethnic minorities. Social (but not private sector) rented sector housing is common. This Supergroup is found throughout the UK’s conurbations and industrial regions but is also an integral part of smaller towns.

The Greater London Mix

Group

Skilled Trades and Construction Workers

Within London, Calladine is most associated with areas classed as Skilled Trades and Construction Workers, part of The Greater London Mix. This gives the surname a London-specific profile rather than forcing the capital into the same pattern as the rest of the country.

Read profile summary

Group profile

These scattered, peripheral and often low residential density neighbourhoods house more workers in skilled trades and construction. Few households rent social housing and there are few students. Multiple car ownership is higher than the Supergroup average, perhaps because of poorer public transport connectivity. Incidence of mixed or multiple ethnicity is below the Supergroup average, and the absence of individuals identifying as Pakistani or Other Asian groups is also less pronounced. Flatted accommodation is less dominant than elsewhere in the Supergroup.

Wider London pattern

A Supergroup embodying London's diversity in many respects, apart from low numbers of residents identifying as of Bangladeshi, Indian, Pakistani or Other (non-Chinese) Asian ethnicity. There is lower than average prevalence of families with dependent children, while there are above average occurrences of never-married individuals and single-person households. The age distribution is skewed towards younger, single residents and couples without children, with many individuals identifying as of mixed or multiple ethnicity. Social rented or private rented housing is slightly more prevalent than average, and many residents live in flats. Individuals typically work in professional and associated roles in public administration, education or health rather than in elementary occupations in agriculture, energy, water, construction or manufacturing. Incidence of students is slightly below average. Individuals declaring no religion are more prevalent than average and non-use of English at home is below average.

Meaning and origin of Calladine

The surname CALLADINE originates from England and can be traced back to the 13th century. It is believed to have derived from the Old English words "cald" meaning "cold" and "dun" meaning "hill" or "down", referring to a geographical location with a cold hill or down.

One of the earliest recorded mentions of the name CALLADINE can be found in the Hundred Rolls of Bedfordshire, a census-like record from the late 13th century, where it was spelled "Caldyndene". This suggests that the name was already established in the county of Bedfordshire during that time.

In the 14th century, the CALLADINE surname appeared in various forms, including "Caldindene", "Caldynden", and "Caldyngdene", reflecting the variations in spelling common in that era. The name was also associated with several place names, such as Caldinden in Bedfordshire and Callington in Cornwall.

One notable figure bearing the CALLADINE name was William Calladine, a prominent landowner and member of the gentry in Derbyshire during the 16th century. He was born around 1520 and owned estates in the villages of Calver and Baslow.

In the 17th century, the CALLADINE family had a strong presence in the county of Nottinghamshire. John Calladine, born in 1632, was a successful merchant and landowner in the town of Newark-on-Trent. His son, also named John Calladine (1668-1745), was a respected clergyman and served as the Rector of Bingham, Nottinghamshire.

Moving into the 18th century, the CALLADINE name gained further recognition with Samuel Calladine (1715-1792), a prominent figure in the textile industry in the town of Glossop, Derbyshire. He was a successful wool merchant and established a thriving wool trade business.

Another notable bearer of the CALLADINE surname was Thomas Calladine (1792-1857), a pioneering industrialist and inventor from Derbyshire. He patented several innovative machines and processes related to the cotton industry, contributing significantly to the industrial revolution in Britain.

Throughout history, the CALLADINE surname has maintained a strong presence in the counties of Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, and Bedfordshire, reflecting its English origins and the geographical locations associated with the name's evolution.
