Dingle

Origins of surname

This is a name of early medieval English origin, and is either a topographical name for a dweller by or in the dingle, or a locational name from a place called Dingle in Lancashire, both deriving from the Middle English dingle meaning a deep dell or hollow. The placename is recorded as Dingyll in the Assize Rolls of 1246. There is a district of Liverpool called Dingle. The surname dates back to the mid 13th Century

Early records

The name first arrived in Jersey in the early 19th century, although it was ignored by the compiler of our Comprehensive list of Jersey surnames. The first baptism was that of William, son of Thomas and Mary Dingle, in St Helier in 1804.

As with many English families which arrived at about this time, a Dingle ancestry can be traced back several generations in Cornwall.

Family album

• 

  John Dingle, born on 14 August 1903, lived at 45 Clos du Parq, St. Helier, during the Occupation. Known to many as Jack, he was involved with air raid precautions, and volunteered as a dispatch rider with Victor Webb and Joe Miere. In the event of an air raid they would be able to lift their bicycles over rubble to distribute messages. On 23 November 1944 Jack was tried on a charge of failing to surrender a wireless set. He was sentenced to six months in prison, but was released on 31 March 1945. While in prison with Joe Miere, he suggested hanging a Union Jack on the cell door. The Prison Governor, Ernest Briard, attempted to make them take it down, but they resisted and Dingle threatened to hit anyone who tried to. General Wulf inspected the prison, and when he came across this flag he supposedly exclaimed in good English, 'These boys are British alright'

Tips

The church record links above will open in a new tab in your browser and generate the most up-to-date list of each set of records from our database. These lists replace earlier Family page baptism lists, which were not regularly updated. They have the added advantage that they produce a chronological listing for the family name in all parishes, so you do not have to search through A-Z indexes, parish by parish.

We have included some important spelling variants on some family pages, but it may be worth searching for records for a different spelling variant. Think of searching for variants with or without a prefix, such as Le or De. To search for further variants, or for any other family name, just click on the appropriate link below for the first letter of the family name, and a new tab will open, giving you the option to choose baptism, marriage or burial records. You will then see a list of available names for that type of record and you can select any name from that list. That will display all records of the chosen type for that family name, and you can narrow the search by adding a given name, selecting a parish or setting start and end dates in the form you will see above. You can also change the family name, or search for a partial name if you are not certain of the spelling

The records are displayed 30 to a page, but by selecting the yellow Wiki Table option at the top left of the page you can open a full, scrollable list. This list will either be displayed in a new tab or a pop-up window. You may have to edit the settings of your browser to allow pop-up windows for www.jerripediabmd.net. For the small number of family names for which a search generates more than 1,500 records you will have to refine your search (perhaps using start or end dates) to reduce the number of records found.

New records

Since August 2020 we have added several thousand new records from the registers of Roman Catholic, Methodist and other non-conformist churches. These will appear in date order within a general search of the records and are also individually searchable within the database search form
