We now have a  "September 8, 9, 10 (x2),11(x2)Date Sequence" pattern-cluster. 

The surname Divall breaks down into a cryptic "div all" -- with "div" being short for "dive".  On keying in "div" to the etymology dictionary search box, the 1st thing brought up is

• deva (n.) "god, good spirit" ... *div- "to shine," thus cognate with Greek dios "divine" and Zeus, and Latin deus "god" (Old Latin deivos); see Zeus.
