Demaine, france?

[J.Demaine]

Yes the name is from the French region if Maine.  De = from Maine, Demaine. Name first recorded in 12th century France.  I have a family tree going back to the 16th century.  First reference of Demaine immigrating to New York is the early 19th century.  My family came to eastern Canada in 1880.  I'm now in western Canada.  Hi!

My earliest Demayne-Demaine, Demain was George, born about 1596 and died JUL 1669 Hole House, Barden, Skipton, York, England. He had 2 spouses: Ellen Atkinson and my particular line, Dorothy Paley "of Skipton-in-Craven" B:abt. 1620 Skipton, Yorkshire D:1681 Hole House Farm, Barden, Skipton, Yorkshire, England. I have 4 DNA cousins who cite some form of that Demaine surname, 2 born in Fewston, 1 at Bolton Abbey & 1 elsewhere in Yorkshire.

Sorry I don't have anything useful to input, but as a Demaine still living in the Skipton area, I just wanted to say hi to some potential relatives here!

My dad was born over Halifax way but I know that our line came from Pateley Bridge/Bolton Abbey area. My brothers and I are still nearby the same area.

We know we came to this area from France, recently it was theorised that perhaps Angers is where we hail from! Hoping to find more information on this soon.
