The DOYLEY Family

Mr. David Watts of the Buckinghamshire Record Office reports that the D’Oyley or Doyley family was a well-known Norman family and had extensive land holdings in both Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire. 

Unsubstantiated records have been found for this family starting with Generation O down to Generation H.  Starting with Generation G down to Generation E, a family tree has been found in the Visitation of Buckinghamshire in 1634.  Two generations of the family have been recorded in the parish of Hambleden, Buckinghamshire for Generation E and Generation D where Susanna Doyley marries John Saunders. It is their granddaughter, Jane Saunders, who married George Man. Those in bold are direct ancestors of Susanna Doyley.  More details on the Doyley family in Hambleden can be found here.
