About the study

Hello and welcome to the Hubery Profile Page

there are 3 main trees related to The Hubery surname

Tree one STS1 Is related  to a Ralph Ewbury aka  Uberry of Codsall c 1714 the earliest reference of this family. and my great grandmother Ann Selina Hubery was a descendant of Ralph.

Tree two BKM1 Is two brothers James Hubery b 1854 and William Hubery b 1859 who where born  with the surname Oldbury In Wednesfield Staffordshire who bear the Surname Hubery migrated to Kelloe Co Durham to work in the Coal Mines there. There ancestors can be traced to Hughe Hubery of Cheddington

Tree three STS3 starts with William Rubery and Ann Leech who married in 1652 at Kingswinford St Marys possibly linked to James Rubery Est 1660 and Elizabeth which is Possibly Linked to William Rewberry who married Hannah Rolaston the Proven Ancestor of Joseph Rubery born 1804 died 1852 Stepfather of  Francis Rewberry aka Hubery born 1854  and Polly Rubery of the ROWBERRY one name study as researched this tree

DNA

I dont have any DNA data at present. and looking for Suitable Male candidates to take a Y DNA 37 Marker Test  to See if any of the Trees as a Common Ancestor and to Vertify the Tree that two Males In the Same Tree as a Common Ancestor

The Y DNA Passes from Father to Son so Is Suitable for a One Name Studies so Any one on Illegimate Lines will not be Suitable

Im Looking to see whether Males on BKM1 AND STS1 Tree as a Common Ancestor

Im Also After a Male Descendant of Arthur Thomas Aubrey who Married Frances Edith Blythe on the 3 Feb 1912 at Aberford is the same as Arthur Thomas Hubrey born 2 jan 1885 at 64 Spencer Road Pancras Middlesex

If you Like to Take a Y DNA Test and Help with my Hubery ONS and all its Variants Spelling  Please get in touch
