Hello Graham,

I think one possibility is that your George Dakeyn c1700 could be descended from George Dakin (?) 1646 on my tree of Rolleston (Staffs.) - its nearby Doveridge and he had at least two sons Thomas 1662 and Edward 1670 (and a possible 3rd arthur).Your George therefore might be a son of either Thomas or Edward Dakin.

There is however another, in my view, stronger possibility; that George Daken c1680 was a brother of Thomas Dakin 1683, son of William Dakin 1663 (married to [Mary] Ellen. I had her down as Ellen until I discivered George but I think it's quite common to combine Mary & Ellen as "Mary Ellen".

IGI says that there was such a person (George) christened and although no actual birth record , christening could well have taken place nearer the families Derbyshire roots (in Chelmorton area near Matlock) at Taddington.

I have already added George DAKEN to my tree as son of William, brother of Thomas.

I think that there is also a reasonable possibility that George married "Anne Austin" of Milwich, Staffordshire 0n 30th sept 1705 (it is quite close to doveridge - 7 miles along the uttoxeter road ,a "b" road going directly east to A50 ).

This could explain daughter Anne on your tree.

I have also added Anne tentatively.

A search of church records at Lichfield will be able to confirm these births/marriages etc I am sure.

please let me know if I am correct.

Meanwhile if you want some more history of the Dakin's (or De Keynes or de Cahaignes) , you could email me on KDAKIN3420@aol.com and I could attach a few files with some interesting stuff on the family going back now to about 1035 (still things to confirm of course). If you do, remind me please that I have your tree on my genealogy file under name of Hordley as I have a short memory!

Kind Regards

Ken Dakin.
