Hello,

The Pembrokes go back a long way in Berkshire, England, where they lived from about 1460 to the present time. I have found them on the manor of Shalford in the Berkshire village of Brimpton.

As far as medieval history is concerned I have found a William de Pembroke in Berkshire in 1158. It is very unlikely that he was the progenitor of the later family.

I am also researching this family. My paternal grandfather was a Pembroke who emigrated to the United States from Prince Edward Island, Canada. His father and grandfather were in Canada by the early 1800's, reportedly immigrating to Canada from Ireland. But I have no idea where in Ireland. . .

I have also heard that the surname Pembroke originated in Welsh holdings/wordage. A friend in the United Kingdom suggested I read about the Deisi, a class of peoples in ancient and medieval Ireland. Perhaps this would give you further information that would help your research?

My great frustration in researching this surname is that it's often tied to the Earldom of Pembroke, currently held by the 18th earl, William Herbert. It only confuses the research, and leads to frustration.
