As part of my GOONS one-name study of Stockdale and variants, I have been looking into the ancestry of David Adam Stockdale, the Fulham FC footballer. He's a goalkeeper and is currently on loan at Ipswich Town. He has also been named by Fabio Capello, England manager, in the England squad but has yet to play for his country. And before someone tells me we aren't suppose to mention living people on these lists, I should say that in my view the Rootsweb ruling is somewhat pointless where well-known people are concerned about whom there is already much in the public domain and which is easily found online with Google. David Stockdale, footballer, is an obvious example. In any event, we one-namers research the living as well as the dead as part of our study. David Stockdale was born in Leeds in 1985 and, of course, Stockdale is overwhelmingly a Yorkshire surname, but my researches indicate he descends from a Stockdale family who derive from Darlton and Dunham and were in the Markham/East Retford area for most of the 19th century, according to the censuses. I believe Stockdale's 4-times gt-grandparents were JOSEPH STOCKDALE and MARY MARRIOTT who apparently married at Darlton on 14 June 1814. This is a private LDS submission to the IGI, so I am not 100 per cent certain of its authenticity. However, if it's right, this couple had at least 7 children, including David Stockdale's 3-times gt-grandfather John Stockdale who was baptised at Darlton on 14 June 1818. John, an ag-lab, married an Elizabeth (marriage not yet found for certain) and they had a number of children and are found in the censuses from 1851-1881 at Dunham. One of their sons, William, married Mary Isabella Cox in the East Retford registration district in 1876 and they were the footballer David Stockdale's gt-gt-grandparents. Anyone claim this family as ancestors also? -- Roy Stockdill Genealogical researcher, writer & lecturer Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
