The current banner shows Alnwick Castle, in Northumberland - a county in the far north east of England, bordering Scotland. This region is home to a number of Appleby lines - and our DNA project has confirmed genetic connections between several of these, which also match lines in Canada, USA and Ireland.

Applebys of East Retford

Robert Appleby married Ann Butler in 1778 in East Retford, Nottinghamshire. We don't know what Robert's occupation was, but his descendants held a wide variety of trades: miller, brickmaker, bonnetmaker, some saddlers, some drapers and a watchmaker - but they all seemed to remain around the East Retford area.

A few years later, in 1805 in nearby Darlton, a Samuel Appleby married Mary Calvert. Their family were born in Egmanton, Nottinghamshire - and though one branch moved to Doncaster, most of the others remained in the area around Egmanton and Newark. One member of this line, Dr Frederick Henry Appleby (1843-1918) was Mayor of Newark and was a distinguished Surgeon in the Royal Engineers. (see his entry on our Military Resources page)

We have not been able to tie these two lines together, but perhaps someone reading this can help provide more information? The two trees are shown below, and if there are any male living Applebys descended from these lines - perhaps you could volunteer to participate in our DNA study so that we can discover whether or not lines are in fact connected?
