Family Dakeyne; Family; Darley Dale DS/UK/M/3994 Dakeyne Dakeyne Family Darley Dale Darley Dale The surname appears in several versions including Daykin, Dakin and Dakeyne. Originally from Norfolk, branches of the family were settled in several Derbyshire parishes by the sixteenth century. The branch based at Snitterton, Darley Dale and Bonsall acquired property in the area mainly by marriages into other local families. ¶ ¶John Dakin (1698-1777) moved from Bonsall to settle in Knabb House in Darley Dale in the early eighteenth century. His son Daniel Dakeyne senior (1734-1819) built Holt House at Darley Dale about 1780. This became the home of his third son Daniel Dakeyne junior (1763-1806). ¶ ¶Daniel Dakeyne junior was a barrister admitted to the Middle Temple in 1789, a banker, minor author, and above all, an antiquary. From about 1790 to his death in 1806 he amassed information for a genealogical and topographical history of Derbyshire, but this never came to fruition. As part of this research he drew up extensive pedigrees for many Derbyshire families and families with a Derbyshire connection.
