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.

Quaker Applebys of Durham
Early generations of this interesting line of Applebys from Darlington in County Durham were drapers and clothiers, later diverging into a wider range of occupations. Quakers maintained excellent records of births, marriages and deaths, and the Durham Meeting records proved even more helpful than usual as they had grouped all members of particular families into a single page. Most of the tree was developed from the excellent nonconformist record collection available on The Genealogist website.
We discovered that one member of this line, George Alexander Appleby was a midshipman at the Battle of Trafalgar - however he seems to have displeased his father George Appleby, who died in 1805, as George Alexander was very obviously cut out from his father's will. More research is required to establish the exact circumstances for this family rift!
However, we have not been able to trace any Appleby descendants of this line appearing in the 19th century census records. If you have made a connection to the present day, we'd love to hear from you!
