Notices of the Ellises;

Of France (from the time of Charlemagne), and of England (from the Conquest), to the present time; and of the synonymous Families (in France) of HALIS, ALES, ELIE, ELLIES, HELIS, ETC., and (in England) of ALIS, FITZELLIS, ELLICE, EYLES, EALES, ALISON, ELLISON, ETC., including the following Families of the same origin, viz., MARSHALL (Earls of Pembroke), DEIvill, De La Mare, DamorY, CANTALUPE, and AUBERVILLE (Barons), RALEIGH, VENOUR, PONTDELARCHE, PUNCHARDUN, NORMAN, KIDDALL, FERBY, HAUVILL, AMUNDEVILLE, HELSHAM, DAYVILL, DISNEY, DOISNEL, CERNE, PLUMSTEAD, BURNINGHAM, FITZ-WALTER, REDISHAM, COMBE, ETC.

BY WILLIAM SMITH ELLIS, Esq.

BARRISTER-AT-LAW.

THE object of the following Essay will be to show that most of the Ellises of England descend from a Norman ancestor, who came over with William the Conqueror; and that he, in common with most of the Ellises, or synonymous families of France, was descended from the early kings of that country; and, as such, bore the royal fleurs de lis, the name being originally Elias, or Louis.

The subject therefore is naturally divided into two parts. In the first, we shall treat of the origin of the Ellises of England; in the second, of those of France.

PART I.

Investigation proves, from authentic written evidences, from the Conquest downwards, that the name of Ellis, like most names, was spelt very variously, amongst others, in the following different ways:

No. 1.]

Alis, Halis, and Hallis;

Elias, and Helias;

Elis, Ellis, Elles, Ellys, and Elys;
Elice, Ellice;

Hellis, Hellys, Hilles, Helles;

Hollis, Holys, Holles;

Iles, Ilys;

Eyles, Eales.
