Many thanks to those who replied,and the links and suggestions offered.My query arises out of my search for Durber relatives in Staffordshire.At present it looks as if they originated on Mars!My earliest definite relative was a Thomas Durber born in the Burslem area of Staffordshire in c 1820.On his Marriage Certificate in 1844,his Father is given as a Daniel Durber(Carpenter).I have seen various Durber names comes before me but am unable to make any link.However there is one name I have come across recently,a Josephh Durber brn in Burslem in c 1805,that does look especially promising,as Joseph was a name used widely in my own Durber Family.On the IGI the name of Joseph in 1805's Father is rather unclear,it is something like Liniel.Notwothstanding this though I was wondering whether there was a link anyway between the Lionel and Daniel names.I do apologise if I have rambled on too far!
