In my last blog I shared with you some of the information derived from the Chartulary of the Bridlington Priory. This described property transactions of Dugglebys living in the 1200s. If you would like to take a look at this please follow the link here.

This week I would like to jump to the other side of the globe and share with you some more recent information kindly provided by Ellen Reid, our intrepid Duggleby researcher. Ellen has prepared a list of the Duggleby first settlers in Australia which I am certain will make interesting reading.

Many of these people have links to the master Duggleby family tree that I am currently updating and hope to share on this site again before the end of November (subject to the move into my new home in England going according to plan and the demands made by my day job!).

Here is the list of Duggleby settlers in Australia that Ellen has been able to identify from public records:

To give you an example of the linkages between some of these people and the main Duggleby family tree let’s take the first person on the list of settlers in Australia, Judith Duggleby. According to the version of the master tree I am currently updating she is believed to have the following ancestral roots in the UK:

Judith Duggleby 1792 -1855 (arrived in Australia in 1814)

Daughter of James Duggleby 1754 – 1825,

Son of Christopher Duggleby 1727 – 1769,

Son of Christopher Duggleby born 1702,

Son of William Duggleby 1660 – 1728,

Son of Christopher Duggleby 1640 – 1703,

Son of William Duggleby 1600 – 1646,

Son of William Duggleby 1575 – 1620 (mutual ancestor with myself – see the Duggleby History page here),

Son of Robert Duggleby 1535 – 1589,

Son of William Duggleby 1510 – 1561 (see William Douglebi of North Dalton at the bottom of page 2: Duggleby Family Tree – first 500 years after the Domesday book: using this link).

Although the information above was derived from public records if any of the living people mentioned prefer not to have their names mentioned on this site please let me know and I will immediately delete the information. Likewise if anyone spots a mistake just let me know via the comments box (if you wish your comments not to be published just add ‘confidential’ at the top of the message). For those who are keen to have their ancestral links published on the site please be patient with me – I am typing as fast as my aging fingers will allow.

That’s all for this blog. Big thanks to Ellen Reid for providing the information. Back now to updating the master tree ready for publication (hopefully) by the end of November.

Chris Duggleby.
