LINKS

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.

Buckinghamshire Applebys

The earliest Applebys that we have discovered in this line lived in Great Missenden in Buckinghamshire in the mid 1600s.

By the time of the 1841 census, most had moved to Forty Green, near Penn and it seems that throughout the 19th century most of the men were agricultural labourers, with the women working at lace making or braiding.

However one son, John Appleby, became a shoemaker and later worked as a fruiterer and market gardener.

from the 1870 Ordnance Survey map of Bucks and Herts (click to enlarge). Great Missenden is at the top left and Penn at the bottom left.

One unfortunate member of this family - William Appleby, born in 1788 - died after falling from a tree whilst cherry picking, leaving a wife Maria and eight children.

We now have one set of yDNA results from a descendant of this line, however they do not fit into any of our clusters of matching results, neither do they share even any distant similarities to our other Midlands Appleby results.
