: can anyone tell me where the surname Braby comes from. I am certain it isn't scottish and the majority of people with this surname in the UK reside in sussex, is it an english name or variation on other names
My father who is deceased always told me that the Brabys came from France and came across at the time of William the Conqueror, if that is any help. He also said that the name was changed. from du Bray (not sure of the spelling). I may have met you at some time if you live in Australia. Jenny Smith
