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.

Applebys of Lincolnshire and Rotherham

Several members of this line ran Grocers and Drapers shops. We believe that the three younger children in the photo are (from left) Arthur Reginald Appleby, George Albert Appleby and Charles Clifford Appleby, with their father standing on the left and their mother in the doorway

This line begins with John Appleby (1779-1833) and Harriet Scales Guy (1790-1829) who married at St Botulph in Boston, Lincolnshire in 1812. I am almost certain that John belongs to the same line as William Barker Appleby. Hopefully we can locate living male Applebys from both lines to confirm this through DNA testing!

Although this line of Applebys originated in Boston, Lincolnshire, the largest branch had moved to Rotherham (via Matlock in Derbyshire!) by 1891. Another branch ended up in Sheffield in Yorkshire and a third in Retford in Nottinghamshire.
