The history of the last name Allsbrook

The surname Allsbrook is of English origin, with roots dating back to the late medieval period in the county of Dorset. It is believed to have derived from a locational name, referring to a small brook or stream that ran through the village of Allsbrook, now a deserted hamlet near the town of Sturminster Newton.

In its earliest recorded forms, the name appeared as "Alesbroc" and "Alesbroke" in the Pipe Rolls of Dorset from the late 12th century. These variations suggest a connection to the Old English words "æl" (meaning "eel") and "broc" (meaning "brook" or "stream"), likely referring to the eel-inhabited brook that once flowed through the area.

The Allsbrook surname is notably absent from the Domesday Book of 1086, indicating that the name likely emerged in the centuries following the Norman Conquest. However, it is mentioned in the Pipe Rolls of Dorset from 1176, suggesting that the Allsbrook family had established itself in the region by that time.

One of the earliest recorded individuals with the Allsbrook surname was William Alesbroc, who was mentioned in the Feet of Fines for Dorset in 1270. Another notable bearer of the name was John Allsbrook, a yeoman farmer from Sturminster Newton, who was listed in the Lay Subsidy Rolls of 1327.

In the 16th century, the Allsbrook family had spread to other parts of England, including the county of Somerset. Thomas Allsbrook (1520-1588), a prominent merchant from the city of Bath, is recorded as having traded in cloth and wool.

During the English Civil War, Captain Robert Allsbrook (1610-1673) fought for the Parliamentarian forces and was renowned for his bravery in several battles against the Royalists. He later served as a member of Oliver Cromwell's Protectorate Parliament.

In the 18th century, the Reverend William Allsbrook (1725-1798) was a respected clergyman in the Church of England and served as the rector of St. Mary's Parish in the village of Buckland Newton, Dorset.

Toward the end of the 19th century, Sir Edward Allsbrook (1850-1924) made his mark as a prominent industrialist and philanthropist in the city of Birmingham. He founded the Allsbrook Iron and Steel Company and was knighted for his contributions to the local community.
