Discuss a surname and mention its origins, its geographical location(s) and how it fits into your genealogy research.Denyer is considered by many a nickname for a poor or insignificant man, from the name of a very small medieval coin (Middle English/Old French: Denier). My Denyer ancestors immigrated to America from England in the 1800s.
The numbering below follows the d'Aboville system, slightly modified to account for multiple spouses.

Any idea where the Denyer's came from in Hampshire? My own Denyer's were in Bramshot Hampshire & across the two County borders either side of Hampshire- Surrey & Sussex. Apart from being ag lab territory! There was also a papermill in the area. My own Denyer's married into the names of Elstone & Pim, both involved with paper making & both had lines that migrated to Canada where they set up a papermill.
Farlington Parish
The Hampshire marriage announcement says Wm Denyer was of Farlington and Jane Goldfinch of Portsea. (not necessarily born there, but at least 'of'). Some online trees have his father named Robert without much backup.
There are 7 children in the online Farlington parish records born to a Wm and Jane Denyer in the years shortly following their marriage. One child named Barnard Goldfinch Denyer born to a Wm and Ann.
I've added some additional geographical notes to the post.
John, Thanks for adding the extra data. I can not see an obvious link, but I have come across the Goldfinch connection with the name used as a middle name.
I am Thomas (1888) and Nellie Denyer's great-granddaughter. My grandmother, Betty Terry married Thomas's son, Hillard Denyer. She still lives in Oklahoma. I came across your website while doing a surname project for a graduate course. Would love to share more of what I have found.
Carol, please email me at jcnewmark at gmail.com and I'll share the information I have.
Ida Elizabeth Denyer is my second great grandmother. She married Lewis Lamar Green who was quite the man.
Lewis Lamar Green was a man of great integrity and courage, enlisted in Company B Texas Confederate Army commanded by "Buck" Walton, serving until wounded and brought home by his younger brother, Gustavus Edward Green, being wounded in MO. When he later return to his home on the frontier of Texas, he waged continuous war on the Comanche Indians for many months, became owner of the largest sheep herds in Texas and served as Sec'y of the First Wool Growers'
Association in Texas. He was once offered the whole acreage where Marble Falls, Texas now stands for one wool clip. In 1891 Lewis Lamar Green accomplished a remarkable feat when he traveled by covered wagon with his family to the wilds of Mexico over many miles of roads built by his own hands. He explored on horseback the temples of the ancient Incas and was the first white man to reach these remote ruins hidden in dense wilderness. (while in Mexico, my great grandmother Louie Mrytle Green "Nina" was born).
The family remained in the interior of Mexico 7 years, returning by ship to Galveston, Texas in 1898.
My Grandfather (now deceased) was Walter John Denyer (known to many as Jack) of Hedge End, Hampshire... My father (also deceased) was David Richard Denyer who moved to Llandovery in Wales after leaving the army in the 1960s - I was born in Llandovery in 1970, and moved to the Basingstoke, Hampshire area while serving in the Royal Air Force. I emigrated to the United States in 2001 and I've lived here (Metro Detroit area of Michigan, USA) ever since.
My father had 3 brothers:
Victor Charles Denyer (still living) - He lives in the Portsmouth area.
William (Billy) (deceased)
Joseph (Joey) (deceased)
My name is Miguel Denyer and I have 2 brothers still living in the UK (Marcus and Jonathan Denyer), and two sisters (Audrey Dorritt (nee Denyer) and Emma Denyer)... I'd be interested to learn of any other family members.
