Origins of the name DAMERY

I have been tracing my relatives whose name is Dimery..They all hale from the Gloucestershire area..I have found a hamletnamed Damery, close to Berkely castle in the south of the County..I think the name may well originate there. I also came across an inscription in the church at Bicester referring to the Damery's "ancient gentlemen of this district" .. whether The Dimery's and the Damery's are the same stock, I do nor know. A vowel change in rural England is very common.
