Where did the English Darbishire family come from? What is the English Darbishire family crest and coat of arms? When did the Darbishire family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Darbishire family history? The name Darbishire is part of the ancient legacy of the Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. It is a product of when the family lived in Lancashire. While one might expect the name to originate in Derbyshire, the first records were indeed found in Lancashire. In England the name is pronounced "Darbyshire" regardless of the spelling.The first dictionaries that appeared in the last few hundred years did much to standardize the English language. Before that time, spelling variations in names were a common occurrence. The language was changing, incorporating pieces of other languages, and the spelling of names changed with it. Darbishire has been spelled many different ways, including Darbyshire, Darbishire, Derbeshire, Derbishire and many more. First found in Lancashire where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.

Thousands of English families in this era began to emigrate the New World in search of land and freedom from religious and political persecution. Although the passage was expensive and the ships were dark, crowded, and unsafe, those who made the voyage safely were rewarded with opportunities unavailable to them in their homeland. Research into passenger and immigration lists has revealed some of the very first Darbishires to arrive in North America: Thomas Darbyshire arrived in Philadelphia in 1848; Elizabeth Derbyshire settled in Maryland in 1774; Elliot, Francis, Henry, James, John, Thomas, and William Derbyshire, arrived in Philadelphia between 1840 and 1860.. 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: Ubi amor ibi fides Motto Translation: Where there is love there is faith.
The Darbishire Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Darbishire Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname. This page was last modified on 27 October 2010 at 13:30. ©2000-2012 Swyrich Corporation.
