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.

Samuel Applebee pipemaker
This Applebee line was sent in by Kate, who has researched her family extensively. From apprenticeship records we have discovered that in fact Samuel's family came from Tutbury in Staffordshire, where his father Benjamin was a potter. But for many years Samuel's own descendants lived in London, where they seem to have had close links with the line of John James Appleby, cutler.
The apprenticeship records also record another Samuel Appleby from Tutbury - this one was the son of William Appleby, yeoman, late of Tedbury in Staffordshire, and in 1682 he was apprenticed to a John Appleby, citizen and Haberdasher of London. If anyone has access to the Staffordshire Records Office, I would be most grateful for any more information on early records for Applebys in and around Tedbury/Tutbury.
Samuel's great grandson, James Edward Appleby who was born to a family of silversmiths, married Sarah Ann Calvert in Scotland - and the couple and their children led Kate on a merry dance as they moved all around the British Isles performing in the theatre as actors and comedians. In more recent years, there were several jockeys amongst the family.

I am pleased to report that we already have a volunteer descended from this line who has agreed to take a yDNA test. If we can locate male Appleby descendants from the line of John James Appleby, cutler (and possibly some of the other Appleby families known to have been working in London in this type of business) we may discover if there is any shared ancestry between them.
