Tallis Family History

The given blob discusses the variant of Talley, which is derived from Tolley, combined with the post-medieval suffix -s. This combination is exemplified by Elisabeth Tallie and Elizabeth Tallis in the year 1606, as recorded in IGI from Gilmorton, Leics.

The text also refers to a local pronunciation of Tolhurst as Tallerst, which has undergone a reduction of -hurst to -is. Several examples from historical records include Rychard Tallerste from 1585, John Talherste in 1590, and Thomas Tollerst in 1625, alongside Thomas Tollhurst in 1657, all noted in IGI from Cranbrook, Kent.

Additionally, the text lists Elisabeth Tallerst from 1595 and Anne Tollost from 1714 in IGI, also from Lydd, Kent. The significance of proximity is highlighted, with Cranbrook being less than four miles from Tollhurst.

Lydd is mentioned as being three miles from New Romney and four miles from Ivychurch, where the variant Tal(l)is is documented in the years 1573 and 1598.
