This belongs in the surnames board. closest I can come is 1493 mention of a locality Lyndebury in the county of Bedford. the next is the first Lymbery of Kilcop house who came over with Cromwell in 1653. Lynde here is the Lime/Linden (basswood), bury, borough and bery probably refer to an orchard (barrow), not a walled city/town (borough is then a false back formation). in this context the Lind/Lime is grown for its flowers and associated beehives.
