History of the surname Ellis.
The first recorded spelling of the family name anywhere in the world, is believed to be that of William Elyas, which was dated 1200, in the tax returns for the county of Yorkshire.
Wendy Payne wrote about Richard Ellis born 1813. [Oct 2017]
I do have the descendancy tree from Richard to present day which I am putting onto my computer to give to my friends. I will happily pass on to other Ellis descendants if they approach you. Re the living descendants I know I would have to ask permission first to add their information . Some of Richard’s family have ended up in Somerset.
There are a few Ellis ancestors born in Masham but not a Richard born around his time so feel confident to add in Richard’s note about possible parents. Also at least one of the Grewelthorpe Ellis family has put his birth as Masham on later censuses so there appears to be a close connection with both villages and this family.
