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.

William & Ellen Apleby of Bishopwearmouth
William Apleby married Ellen Goldsbrough in 1670 in Bishopwearmouth. Originally, we believed that this was the same William Apleby who had earlier married Margarite Hilton - however recent discovery of burial records (on the wonderful Durham Records On-line site) has indicated that this cannot be the case, as Margarite died after the William/Ellen marriage and both couples were having children christened during the overlapping period.
Sadly, we have not been able to find many descendants of this couple - so if anyone can provide further information I should be delighted to hear from you.
