I have traced our deaville tree back to Isaac born in 1759 in Cheadle, he was father to Thomas and Mary. I have a hunch that the Deaville family name does not go much further back than this, however I may be completely wrong about this, does anyone have any more information?

Hi UK. Thank you for your interest. Actually the information comes from the register of deaths, he died 01/03/1836, in Stockport, this is the only information that I have about him. There appear to be a very limited number of Deavilles mostly in Cheshire, Derbyshire and Staffordshire, I feel that the name must originate in this area possibly in the 17th or 18th century.

Have you considered the various ways the surname could have been spellt? I could come up with a fair number of variations - Deavil(l)(e), Devil(l)(e), Deveal(l)(e), even Devil! - to name but a few
Best wishes

Yes Ann, I am sure that the name evolved from one of it's variants, it is the moment of variation that I am keen to find. With the name being so concentrated in Derbyshire, Staffordshire and Cheshire there has to be a possibility that all the Deavilles are directly related and have an identifiable common ancestor, which would be quite cool!

Hi Ben
I am related to a Deaville family from Stoke on Trent. My Great Grandfather was Richmond Deaville born in 1882 his father was James Deaville born 1847 in Bagnall Staffs. His mother was Mary Deaville but no father identified on birth certificate. There are some thoughts that the Deaville ' s came over from France
