The
DUDLEY Family of Birmingham, prior to 1812
Family name derived from the
Old English personal name Dodda or Dudda and 'leah' meaning a
woodland clearing owned, or lived in, by Dudda. In the Middle
Ages, the Sutton family inherited the title of Lord Dudley, and
many branches dropped the Sutton name, using Dudley as their
surname, making the name well established by the Tudor period. It
is unlikely my family is a descended from the Sutton family or
its branches, but adopted directly from the name of the town. In
many cases this would have been an identifier of an individual
based on his place of origin as de Dudley. The earliest recorded
uses of the name in this form are in nearby parts of
Staffordshire and Worcestershire rather than the town itself,
suggesting that all the ancestors of this line lived in the local
area prior to the C18th.
