From the earliest known Alboroughs, this surname remained the same for some lines of descent, while others gravitated towards the name Albrow.

The Albrows who can be found in Lowestoft are, for the most part, related to each other but there are other Albrow families in East Anglia for whom no obvious link has yet been found. One example of this is the Albrow family of Great Yarmouth who appear to be of Suffolk origin, while the Lowestoft family can be traced back to Norfolk.

Tracing any of the many variations of the names Alborough and Albrow in East Anglia did become something of an obsession over the years, lines, both related and unrelated, being traced to many places including London, Coventry, Australia and North America. From the number of trees published on major websites, it seems that many descendants must have a family history gene somewhere in their DNA.

The trees of others are hugely interesting, although we can’t always find we are in agreement with what is published. That doesn’t mean we are correct necessarily, only that our own research has come to a different conclusion. A few things have caught our attention, however. Perhaps most odd is the line which traces back into Norfolk from Lowestoft and shows an early ancestor, Robert, having a family when he was just 12 years old! Somehow that seems unlikely.

Our own Albrow line came to an end with Louisa who married into the Lowestoft Parker family, their descendants moving away. We have made contact with many distant relations who continue to have the name Albrow and have traced several lines down into much more modern times.
