GARSIDE, GARTSIDE,
GARTHSIDE. A
local name meaning "at the garth-side," i.e. living at the side of the
garth, the yard or orchard. This surname first dropped the h,
secondly, the t, and is now almost universally Garside. 'In the
reign of Edward I lived Sir Baldwin Teutonicus,... who granted to Sir Robert de
Holland, in free marriage with Joan, his daughter, all his lands in Butterworth,
the Cleggs, Garthside, Akedene, Holynworth, and Halght in Rochdale' (Bains'
Lancashire, i. 505). I believe Garthside lay in Crompton, between Rochdale
and Oldham. The surname arose there, and still lives in the
district.
