18th CENTURY - DULLINGHAM

The name Dullingham has been in use for well over a thousand years - the name was used around the year 975 to describe a wood in the area. The name comes from Old English and means ‘Homestead of the Dullingas, the people named after Dulla’. The area had been settled many centuries before this time by successive waves of invaders from continental Europe, but it seems that there is no archaeological evidence of earlier habitation in Dullingham itself, or in the other two communities which now form part of the modern village: Cross Green and Dullingham Ley. The first written record we have is provided by that amazing achievement of medieval civil administration, the Domesday Book (1085). By this time Dullingham was a centre of agricultural activity and Domesday records four separate landholdings here: the manor, two farms and a small holding, held by four different lords.

I know of only 2 other children besides WILLIAM:

MARY (born abt 1637 Burrough Green) (died Sep 1648 Dullingham)

ANN (born abt 1638 Burrough Green) - ANN had a "baseborn" child also called ANN in abt 1669 Burrough Green

THE SYZER BRANCH

The Syzer family name is occupational in meaning, deriving through Sysour - a Middle English term - referring to an Assizer a person who was a member of an assize or group of witnesses at a legal inquiry

Derivatives of this name include: SISER, SYSAR, SYZAR, SYSZER, SAYZER, SEYZER

This branch is through the OAK/OAKE part of the tree on the maternal line. I normally wouldn't go back to the 16th Century on a maternal line, but the surname fascinated me & is very unusual with not many people around the World sharing it!

This part of my family seems to originate from Stetchworth, on the border of Dullingham, they then moved a short distance away to Westley Waterless.

I have managed to trace back to the beginning of Parish Records (just after 1538). A lot of these records are on Find My Past web site. There are others with the same name in the parish but it's difficult to prove some of them due to the same names being used! My link to the Syzer's are as follows:

THOMAS OAK

1794 - 1865

STEPHEN OAK
