George Appleby of Ardleigh, Essex

Although we have found details of a number of children of George Appleby and his wife Elizabeth Nice or Nurse in the Ardleigh Parish Records, we have not managed to locate a marriage for this couple. They do not appear to have married in Ardleigh.

In a census of Ardleigh taken in 1811 there was only one Appleby family - that of George Appleby; he was a labourer and there were 5 males and three females in his household. By 1821, George Appleby had two males and five females living in the household. (These early censuses only provide the name of the head of household)

An earlier census, taken in 1796 specifically to establish exactly how many men of an age capable of bearing arms against an anticipated invasion of the Essex coast by the French, showed four Applebys resident in the village - but no sign of George amongst them, so it is possible that he was born elsewhere.

As far as we are aware, all living descendants of this line now live in Australia and are descended from George and Elizabeth's grandson Joseph Henry Appleby, who emigrated to New South Wales in 1875.

But if you have details of descendants of any other branches of this family, do please contact me.

DNA

We now know that this line shares a common ancestor with that of Nathaniel of Langenhoe, but we still need to undertake further research amongst the parish records to discover where the connection lies.
