Following his death the Government Gazette published the deeds of his block which specified that the properties should be called Wauchope. This was the original form of the family name but the “ope” was eliminated by him after quarrels over the family estate. In 1881 the postal authorities opened a post office in the settlement and gave it the name of Wauchope even though the Government Gazette, because of a misprint, spelt it Wanghope. The error was not corrected until 1889. Wauchope Origin: It is said that Wauchope was named after Captain Wauch Gazetted: 16 Apr 1993 or Wauche, who came to NSW in 1836 and was given a grant of land which he named Wauchhope, to express future hopes of prosperity. (Reed, 1969). Name Origins: Captain Robert Andrew Wauch purchased 2,297 acres of land on King Creek and four years later he purchased an additional 1,168 acres. He called his property ‘Wauchope’ the original spelling of the family name. His father was Captain Robert Wauch (1761-1817) who was born on their family estate Niddrie Marischal near Edinburgh. The surname was originally Wauchope but when his father died there was a bitter dispute over inheritance. Losing the legal battle the Captain retired to his portion of the estate and dropped the ‘ope’ from his name. The name Wauch was passed on to his descendants including his son, Robert Andrew, the founder of Wauchope. (Source: Hastings Gazette n.d.).
