Origins of DUBERLEY surname (General)

by RachelD, Cardiff, (3225 days ago)

Does anyone here know the origin of the Duberley surname? There are lots of variations in spelling as one would expect. The earliest mention I have found is a Henry Doberle, baptised in 1582, in Ruardean (which is where my father, John Duberley grew up). I have been informed that it is a 'locative' surname (Du = of)and wondered if it was in any way linked to the village of Bulley, near Westbury-on-Severn, which is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Buleleye.
