Hi Shawn,
Nice to hear from you, My great great grandfather was John Dalby, he was born In Kirk Deighton near Wetherby, his daughter my great grandmother was Sarah and she was born in Spofforth also near Wetherby. From the records Dalby was a very common name in that area.

If anyone has DALBY cvonnections to INDIA please let me know.

My ancestors way back came from Collingham, which is also near Wetherby. One of these days someone will start a Dalby DNA project, as many other name-holders have, and then we can see how closely the Dalbys from round Wetherby are related to each other. But speaking for myself the price of DNA testing for family history purposes has to come down a bit first!

Incidentally my Dalby branch has Nelson ancestry in Birstall, but that's another story.
