How is Childers pronounced

I'm from the Florida Childers descended from Erasmus Childers who came from Alabama in the 1880's.Every relative I've met in Florida, Georgia and Alabama, number in the hundreds, as well as the Afro-American Childers I've met from South Carolina (from mixed marriages in the late 19th century, not slavery) pronounces it "Chill-ders".People who refer to me as "Child-ers" are strangers, usually telephone solicitors.
