| From this page we include some details and links for people interested
in the Dobney family and name. Our bit of the family comes from Leicestershire/Lincolnshire via London in the 19th Century and Northamptonshire in the 20th Century. From the Internet, it would appear that there are Dobney's in pockets around England (Infodisk UK lists about 250), in Canada (especially British Columbia?), in America and into Australia.
