The original Davenport line began in England. Over the centuries, as the number of descendants grew,  the various Davenport families spread throughout Cheshire and the surrounding areas. In some cases a direct Davenport line can be traced in one location for hundreds of years. The table below lists some of those lines. There are more.  Today, descendants of these early Davenports are scattered around the world, including Australia, New Zealand, and China.

The first table illustrates how the various Davenport Manors are linked. The last individual in a row is the first to use the "Manor  name".  For example - Arthur married Katherine Calveley and the Davenport family took over ownership of Calveley Manor.

 

The second is a list of the major Davenport branches in the United Kingdom. Included is a brief bio and a link to a web page dedicated to that line. On that page will be additional information, with links to documents, pertinent web sites, and interested researchers. Some of the lines have been genetically tied to the Cheshire Davenports, so that information may also be included.
