Families covered: Walleys of Glynde
| The name 'Walleys' (possibly derived from Galleius, with many variations such as Walleis & Wallis) is believed to imply that this family originated in either Wales or the Cymbric (Cimbric) kingdom of Strathclyde which at one time covered much of the middle-western half of Great Britain. 'The Archives', referred to below, provides a generation before the first mentioned by Visitation or Berry, being the following Robert. We have yet to obtain 'a feel' for the reliability of that archive and so show entries that come solely from that source in italics. | |||||||||||||||
