I am researching the DIXEY family in Essex, England. I have already traced several ancestors to towns such as Springfield, Gestingthorpe, Little Maplestead, Writtle and Halstead.
I go back to Daniel Dixey born in 1799 and have a probable connection with his father John Dixey.
Have found that sometimes spelling is given as DIXIE and expect to find other variations.
Please e-mail me on: barry.dixey@lineone.net if you think you may have a connection and wish to exchange notes.
Good luck all
