by William Heaford Daubney
Born in Great Grimsby in 1851, William Heaford Daubney was an Anglican theologian and clergyman. Records found during this search describe him as Vicar of Harlington, Bedfordshire, and later Rector of Leasingham, Lincolnshire.
Daubney is remembered for scholarly religious works including The Use of the Apocrypha in the Christian Church and The Three Additions to Daniel, a Study. His writing focused on biblical interpretation and the place of the Apocrypha within Christian tradition, making specialized subjects approachable for serious general readers as well as students of theology.
He died in 1927. Although not a widely famous literary figure today, his books have remained in circulation through major public-domain and library projects, which has helped keep his work available to modern readers.
