Dauncey Family

My branch of the Dauncey family came to Birmingham in the 1880's. Am trying to trace any Dauncey's living in Birmingham to see whether we have a connection. It is quite a rare surname.
 
Hi Jules

Found a few in Birmingham on the 1891 Census, where did yours come from, London, Gloucestershire or Somerset ???

Hi Bren

I have traced them back to Dursley & North Nibley in Gloucestershire. Some came to Birmingham and others Liverpool & London.

I wonder what Birmingham was like for them back then?

My nan (not a Dauncey) was born in Aston and lived in the nearby area all of her life. She lived to be 100 and I used to love to listen to her stories about what life was like for her when she was a girl.

My dad never mentioned any cousins or aunts and uncles, yet now having traced some of my family tree I can see that he did have family in Birmingham. Would love to know if any are still there.
