Duro Family
- Derbyshire (County, DBY, England)
I am descended from the Durow family of Mapperley, Derbyshire. I wonder if the person searching the Duro family of Ilkeston has tried the alternative spelling as we have traced dozens of Durows, some of whom show up in Ilkeston.
There was a Richard Durow of Lichfield who married Mary Beardsley there in 1802 and then appears to have moved to Ilkeston shortly after his marriage. Richard and Mary had a whole raft of children and you could be descended from them.
