Margaret, I have traced the Duxbury part of my husband’s family back to Ralph Duxbury, born 1696 and his wife Mary (nee Chadwick). They lived in Waterside, Colne. Maybe there is some connection along the way between your dad and this family, although I think there are a number of Duxburys, so maybe not. It would be nice to think so though.

I agree that searching family history is all a bit mind boggling at times but so very interesting, takes a lot of time and a fair bit of ‘detective’ work. It certainly is addictive. Can be very frustrating but also very rewarding when things come together.
