http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilley
Last name: Lilley
This ancient surname can be of either Olde English or medieval origins. It has three possible sources, the first a diminutive nickname from the personal name 'Elizabeth'. This name derives from the hebrew 'Elishera', which translates as 'god is my guardian' or similar, and was introduced by the Crusaders in the 12th century. As Elizabeth it became the most popular English female name, and a source of many pet or nicknames. The second origin is from the nickname 'Lilie', originally used as a baptismal name for a baby with a particularly fair complexion. Here the derivation is from the Old English pre 7th Century 'lilie', meaning the lily flower, itself from the Roman-Latin word 'lilium'. Lastly the surname can be locational, from either of two villages called 'Lilley' in Hertfordshire and Berkshire. The village names were recorded in Domesday Book (1086) and they translate as 'the clearing where flax was grown', from the Old English 'lin', meaning flax, and 'leah', - a clearing. The 'modern' surname spelling is found as Lilly, Lil(l)ey, Lil(l)ie and Lely, whilst early recordings include such examples as Thomas Lylie of Wakefield, Yorkshire in 1296, Hugh Lily in the Hundred Rolls of Lincoln for 1275, and William Lely of Norfolk in the same year. The christening of John Lilley was recorded at St. Botolph without Aldgate, London, on November 23rd 1578, whilst Henry Lilly, who died in 1638, was the Rouge Dragon pursuivant of the College of Heralds in the time of King Charles 1st (1625 - 1649). The coat of arms has the blazon of a red field, with three white lilies slipped. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Alan Lilie, which was dated 1247, a witness at the 'Bedfordshire Assizes', during the reign of King Henry 111, known as 'The Frenchman', 1216 - 1272. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

LINES
Lines (Father of Anna May Lines Lilley)
Last name: Lines
This interesting surname is of Anglo-Saxon origin, and has two possible sources. Firstly, the surname may be a topographical name for someone who lived by a lime tree, derived from the Olde English pre 7th Century "lind", Middle English "line", lime tree. Topographical surnames were among the earliest created, since both natural and man-made features in the landscape provided easily recognisable distinguishing names in the small communities of the Middle Ages. The surname may also derive from the medieval female given name "Line", an aphetic form of Cateline and of various other names, such as Emmeline and Adeline, containing the Anglo-Norman French diminutive suffix "-line". "Lina" (without surname) is noted in the 1181 Pipe Rolls of Oxfordshire. The surname is first recorded in the late 13th Century (see below) and can also be found as Lyne, Lines, Lynes, Lind(er), Lynde and Lynds. Recordings from London Church Registers include the marriage of John Line and Joan Withy on August 6th 1549, at St. Lawrence Jewry, and the marriage of Richard Line and Isabell Tavernor on February 16th 1577, at St. Nicholas Acon. Among the early settlers in the New World was Colonel Christopher Line, who is recorded as owning two hundred and seventy-two acres of land in the Barbados on December 23rd 1679. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of William Lyne, which was dated 1296, in the "Pipe Rolls of Sussex", during the reign of King Edward 1, known as "The Hammer of the Scots", 1272 - 1307. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

First found in Austria where the name became noted for its many branches in the region, each house acquiring a status and influence which was envied by the princes of the region. In their later history their name became a power unto themselves and were elevated to the ranks of nobility as they grew into this most influential family.

Cassel (Ann Louise Lilley)
Last name: Cassel
Recorded in many forms as shown below, this is an English surname but of French pre 7th century origins. It derives from the word 'castle' itself a topographical name meaning a fortified building, and especially the residence of a feudal Lord. The name may also have denoted a servant who lived and worked at such a place. Occasionally it referred to a tenant paying rent to the castle as in Henry de Castell, circa 1260, in the Assize Court rolls. He owed rent money to Cambridge Castle. The spelling as Cassel, Cassels, Cassell, Cassells is recorded in the church registers of the city of London as in that of Jaques Casselles, the son of Jaques Cassells and Marie Boutellier who was christened on January 16th 1642 at the French Huguenot Church, Threadneedle Street. In Ireland the name is first recorded about a century later, and example being that of Mary Cassels, on December 5th 1738 when she was christened at St. Mary's Cathedral Limerick. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Richard Castle. This was dated 1148 in the Select Documents of the abbey of Bec in the county of Sussex, during the reign of King Stephen, also known as the Count of Blois, 1135 - 1154. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

Olver (Ann Louise Lilley)
Last name: Olver
This very interesting surname is believed to be a Devonian form of the ancient Oliver, also recorded as Olivier, Olliver, Oliver etc. It was introduced into both England and Scotland after the 1066 Norman Invasion. There is some uncertainty about the true origin, in that whilst the spelling form since 1066 has been French and indicating an association with the olive tree, and therefore probably locational for one who lived at an olive orchard, it may well be that the spelling is a dialectal of the Norse-Viking 'Olifr'. This translates as 'the honourable ancestor' (or similar), and was the name of a famous pre 9th century king and saint of Norway. The surname as 'Oliver' is found throughout Britain, but as 'Olver' does not seem to have been recorded before 1665 when Richard Olver married Rebeckah Hihhins at St Petrocks Church, Exeter. This Richard Olver may be Richard Oliver, christened at Totnes, Devon, on February 9th 1633. The name is recorded in London on March 3rd 1779 when John, the son of Henry Olver was christened at All Hallows, London Wall. The coat of arms has a red field, charged with the blazon of a mullet (knights spur) between three crescents, all silver, indicating victory over the infidels. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Walter Olifer, which was dated 1180, a witness at the court of the Bishop of Glasgow, during the reign of King William "The Lyon", of Scotland, 1165 - 1214. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

Dinneen (Lynne Eileen Lilley)
Last name: Dinneen
This interesting and rare surname is an occasional variant of "Dinneen", which is the Anglicized form of the Gaelic "O'Duinnin", from the Gaelic personal name "Donn" which comes from "donn", brown. Denning with Diana and Diane was found on the list of synonyms equated with Dineen (a name which means the same or nearly the same as another) used by emigrants which was compiled by the Cunard company. The great majority of Dineens are found in County Cork, especially in the south western part anciently known as Corca Laoidhe. The family were famous as poets and historians, providing a succession of hereditary poets and historians to the Mac Carthys and occasionally to the O'Sullivans. Tadhg O'Dineen, poet to the Earl of Clancarty was a prominent member of the 17th Century school of poetry in Blarney, Co. Cork. At Donagh, Donegal one Letitia Denning married Robert Hilliard on August 28th 1846, while William, son of William and Rebaca Denning was christened at St. Olave, Southwark, London on March 19th 1730. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Elizabeth Dennynge, who married Walter Stokes, which was dated April 9th 1570, in "St. Giles Cripplegate", London, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth 1, known as "Good Queen Bess", 1558 - 1603.

Mannix ( Jean, wife of Bill Lilley, Jr.)
Last name: Mannix
This rare and interesting surname is of Irish origin, and has two possible sources; the first source is a variant of (O) Manahan, which is from the Gaelic "O' Mainichin", derived from "manach", a monk. The second source is as a synonym of MacNeice, which is a variant of "MacAonghuis", son of Angus, a Gaelic personal name meaning "one choice". Mannix was a minor sept of Corca Laoidhe in the south-west of County Cork, the name was never numerous and is now scarce, being rarely found outside the counties of south-west Munster. The surname is sometimes Anglicized as Mannihan or Manahan. Surprisingly there are no early recordings of the surname; it does not appear in records until the late 18th Century. Among the sample recordings in Ireland are the marriages of Timothy Mannix and Brigid Murphy on August 25th 1843 at Dromtarriff R.C., County Cork and of John Mannix and Catherine Mannix on November 19th 1843 at Castleisland R.C. County Kerry. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Mary Mannix (christening), which was dated April 23rd 1785, Killarney Roman Catholic Church, County Kerry, Ireland, during the reign of King George 11, "Farmer George", 1760 - 1820. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax.

Olver (Ann Louise Lilley)

This very interesting surname is believed to be a Devonian form of the ancient Oliver, also recorded as Olivier, Olliver, Oliver etc. It was introduced into both England and Scotland after the 1066 Norman Invasion. There is some uncertainty about the true origin, in that whilst the spelling form since 1066 has been French and indicating an association with the olive tree, and therefore probably locational for one who lived at an olive orchard, it may well be that the spelling is a dialectal of the Norse-Viking 'Olifr'. This translates as 'the honourable ancestor' (or similar), and was the name of a famous pre 9th century king and saint of Norway. The surname as 'Oliver' is found throughout Britain, but as 'Olver' does not seem to have been recorded before 1665 when Richard Olver married Rebeckah Hihhins at St Petrocks Church, Exeter. This Richard Olver may be Richard Oliver, christened at Totnes, Devon, on February 9th 1633. The name is recorded in London on March 3rd 1779 when John, the son of Henry Olver was christened at All Hallows, London Wall. The coat of arms has a red field, charged with the blazon of a mullet (knights spur) between three crescents, all silver, indicating victory over the infidels. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Walter Olifer, which was dated 1180, a witness at the court of the Bishop of Glasgow, during the reign of King William "The Lyon", of Scotland, 1165 - 1214. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

Mannix ( Jean, wife of Bill Lilley, Jr.)
Last name: Mannix
This rare and interesting surname is of Irish origin, and has two possible sources; the first source is a variant of (O) Manahan, which is from the Gaelic "O' Mainichin", derived from "manach", a monk. The second source is as a synonym of MacNeice, which is a variant of "MacAonghuis", son of Angus, a Gaelic personal name meaning "one choice". Mannix was a minor sept of Corca Laoidhe in the south-west of County Cork, the name was never numerous and is now scarce, being rarely found outside the counties of south-west Munster. The surname is sometimes Anglicized as Mannihan or Manahan. Surprisingly there are no early recordings of the surname; it does not appear in records until the late 18th Century. Among the sample recordings in Ireland are the marriages of Timothy Mannix and Brigid Murphy on August 25th 1843 at Dromtarriff R.C., County Cork and of John Mannix and Catherine Mannix on November 19th 1843 at Castleisland R.C. County Kerry. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Mary Mannix (christening), which was dated April 23rd 1785, Killarney Roman Catholic Church, County Kerry, Ireland, during the reign of King George 11, "Farmer George", 1760 - 1820. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.
