I am working on the ARBURY name and my ancestors are Devon based (UK)- my earliest is my Gt/gt/gt/grandfather Robert,b.abt 1766 (could be a few years earlier). He worked in Otterton, Devon, was married, in Otterton, in 1786 to a lady called Elizabeth Barnes b1868 and have been able to follow his 11 children, of which Thomas b1799 was my Gt/gtGrandfather who married Louisa White b1810 married 1833. They had 10 children and my Gt/grandfather was Robert b1849 (AKA Robin on some records) wife Susan Robins b1849. The mystery for me is the first Robert - as no-one seems to know from where he came. Guessing not so far but? - he was an agricultural labourer and have learnt that he was the first Arbury in Otterton! On-line Parish Clerks do not have him before his arrival there..........

If anyone recognises this "line" I would be very pleased to hear from them.
