A Church of England clergyman and biblical scholar, he wrote careful studies of the Apocrypha and the book of Daniel for readers interested in early Christian tradition and scripture. His work combines pastoral experience with close, methodical research.

by William Heaford Daubney
Born in Great Grimsby in 1851, William Heaford Daubney was an Anglican theologian and priest. Reference sources identify him as a Church of England clergyman, and surviving bibliographic records connect him especially with his studies of biblical and apocryphal literature.
Daubney served as Vicar of Harlington, Bedfordshire, and later as Rector of Leasingham, Lincolnshire. Alongside parish work, he published scholarly religious books including The Use of the Apocrypha in the Christian Church and The Three Additions to Daniel, a Study. These writings show his interest in how lesser-known biblical texts were read, valued, and interpreted in Christian history.
He died in 1927. Though not a widely known popular author today, Daubney's books remain useful to readers interested in Anglican scholarship, the Apocrypha, and the history of biblical interpretation.
