| The Arnsby Family Tree Newsletter 1 |
We
believe that our link to other Arnsby's will be found researching
our oldest known Ancestory, Samuel Arnsby.
While
searching, we have collect informaton found regarding the surname
Arnsby (all spellings). If we do not connect our family, we may
connect other Arnsbys together! |
Arnsby's
from England Visit!!!
We
have had our first meeting with Arnsby's that we have been
corresponding with; Margaret and Keith Arnsby are two Arnsbys
in England we first contacted in July of 1995. Margaret and
Keith were coming to Canada with some friends in September

Database
- Arnsby's - The Complete List
All
the information that we collect is compiled on a database that we
call 'Arnsby's - The Complete List'.
Some
of the earliest recorded events are:
Marriage
of Jane Arnsbie on November 27, 1561 to Richard Haward at Claycoton,
England
Christening
of Jhon Armsbye on January 27, 1565. Father Rychard Armsbye at
St. Mary, Weston, Lincoln, England
The
database now has over 700 events!!!! Aproximately 160 Marriages,
150 Births, Over 300 Christenings, a listing of over 70 Deaths as
well as Census reports and Buriels.
The
database is in 'Date' order and we are able to see records of Arnsby
Births and Chritenings and Marriages and then the children and their
Christenings!
Fascinating
reading. |

Henry
Alfred Arnsby
While
researching at the local Family History Centre, Jerry Arnsby,
entered the most common mispelling of our beloved family name;
'Armsby' into the computer.
Pages
of 'Armsby's' were listed and among them was a 'Henry Alfred
Armsby'!!! |
 |
|
Flourence
Ann Armsby
This
new information is very exciting but there is more. Also listed,
at the same church, and within three days of Henry Alfred's
Christening, is the Christinening of 'Flourence Ann Armsby'!!!
She was Christened on October 22, 1928.
Two
babies, Christened at the same church, with three days....
What are the odds these two families not knowing or beign
related to each other? |

John
and Elizabeth Armsby
Here
is a small family tree showing what we know about John and
Elizabeth Armsby.
Could
John be a brother or a cousin of our Samuel?
We
still have a lot of searching to do. Perhaps thru Census forms
or Rent books or Church records etc we will be able to find
the addresses of Samuel and Charlotte and bay son Henry and
John and Elizabeth and their children. How close geographically
were they? Is evidence available that may show that Samuel
and Charlotte stayed with John and Elizabeth when they first
came to London? |

Arnesby,
England
Today,
we all have surnames but surnames only became important and
consistant in the last century. Literacy rates were not as
high as today and name of infants were legally not requred
to be registered until 1837. Arnsby to Armsby is a common
mistake, even today! We wonder how many more of the Armsby's
on the list should be Arnsby.
From
the May 1996 Family Tree magazine we learn that: 'Locative'
surname based upon place name are the comonest of all. You
can usually spot them by their suffixes or endings, such as:
-ley, -ton, -don, - ford, -by, -ham.
Here
is a small map showing you the location of Arnesby, Leicestershire,
England. |
