Southey history UK part 2
I just wanted to mention that the name Southey goes back to the famous Domesday Book ordered by William the Conqueror in about 1086 AD in England.
There are seven alternative spellings.
The earliest record obtained by a search of 12 types of ancient record is in Lincolnshire where Ralph of Sotby held the village and Church (has a Norman chancel arch) of Sotebi from the Bishop of Bayeux.
He was linked to a Norman noble at the battle of Hastings,1066.The Normans were originally Vikings who eventually took Normandy in Northern France.
From Lincoln they spread to Yorkshire, Essex, Berkshire, Scotland, USA, Canada, South Africa and Tasmania and so on.
Notable were Sir Richard Southby, Sir Archibald Southby,
Poet Laureate Robert Southey LLD(born Wine St. Bristol 1774 d. 21-3-1843)
and his son Rev. Charles Cuthbert Southey(1820-?) who was married 3 times and had 7 children
incl. a son Robert Charles Southey who was Christened on 23-12-1848 at Plumbland, Cumberland UK.
I am trying to find a link between the Poet and my family in England as although I was a science specialist at school in London and University I find that I can write poetry!
My great grandfather was Frederick Southey(20th 12 1834 Norfolk -?) a customs officer.
Son Frederick William Southey(1863-1935),
son Wilfrid Henry Southey, my father,(1897-1987).He had 3 brothers.
I hope this interests you,
Thanks,
Brian Wilfrid Southey (I am an only child),
born 1941 Wallsend on Tyne,
Northumberland UK,
now living in Ireland.
