 England
The present generation of the Bobbie family is only the most recent to bear a name that dates back to the ancient Anglo-Saxon culture of Britain. Their name comes from having lived in two distinct parishes in the county of Lincolnshire, each named Boothby. Early Origins of the Bobbie familyThe surname Bobbie was first found in Lincolnshire, where the name is associated with three locations called Boothby. Hugo de Boebi, also recorded as de Bothebi, was registered in Lincolnshire in 1190. During the Middle Ages the family in Lincolnshire included several prominent landholders, such as Osbert de Boby who was recorded there during the reign of King Henry III. Hugo de Bobi, Emma de Boby, and Walter de Boby were all registered in the county in 1273. 1 Early History of the Bobbie familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Bobbie research.

Bobbie Spelling VariationsUntil the dictionary, an invention of only the last few hundred years, the English language lacked any comprehensive system of spelling rules. Consequently, spelling variations in names are frequently found in early Anglo-Saxon and later Anglo-Norman documents. One person's name was often spelled several different ways over a lifetime. The recorded variations of Bobbie include Bobby, Boebi, Bothebi, Boby, Bobi, Bobie, Bobbie and others.

Migration of the Bobbie familyThousands of English families boarded ships sailing to the New World in the hope of escaping the unrest found in England at this time. Although the search for opportunity and freedom from persecution abroad took the lives of many because of the cramped conditions and unsanitary nature of the vessels, the opportunity perceived in the growing colonies of North America beckoned. Many of the settlers who survived the journey went on to make important contributions to the transplanted cultures of their adopted countries. The Bobbie were among these contributors, for they have been located in early North American records: Rowland Bobby, aged 42, who arrived at Ellis Island from Norfolk, England in 1907; Albert Thornton Bobby, aged 48, who arrived at Ellis Island from Margate, England in 1913.
