Over the years, many variations of the name Durling were recorded, including Darling, Derling, Darlin, Durling, Darline, Derline, Derlin and many more.

First found in Derbyshire 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.

Many of the families that came from England went on to make essential contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Research into various historical records revealed some of first members of the Durling family emigrate to North America:
