Where did the English Dalbey family come from? What is the English Dalbey family crest and coat of arms? When did the Dalbey family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Dalbey family history? The name Dalbey was brought to England by the Normans when they conquered the country in 1066. The ancestors of the Dalbey family lived in Lancashire. The name derives, however, from the family's former place of residence, Auby, Normandy, where they would have been referred to as D'Auby, meaning from Auby.It is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, Anglo-Norman surnames like Dalbey are characterized by many spelling variations. Scribes and monks in the Middle Ages spelled names they sounded, so it is common to find several variations that refer to a single person. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages such as Norman French and Latin, even literate people regularly changed the spelling of their names. The variations of the name Dalbey include Dalby, Dalbie, Daylby, Dailby, D'Alby, D'Aubly and many more. First found in Lancashire where they held a family seat from early times.

Faced with the chaos present in England at that time, many English families looked towards the open frontiers of the New World with its opportunities to escape oppression and starvation. People migrated to North America, as well as Australia and Ireland in droves, paying exorbitant rates for passages in cramped, unsafe ships. Many of the settlers did not make the long passage alive, but those who did see the shores of North America were welcomed with great opportunity. Many of the families that came from England went on to make essential contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Some of the first immigrants to cross the Atlantic and come to North America carried the name Dalbey, or a variant listed above: Dalbey Settlers in the United States in the 17th Century
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto. Motto: In Deo spero Motto Translation: I hope in God.
