The Tilley Name Spelling
Does anyone know if the spelling "Tilley" is actually from the name of Tilly in Brabant, Brussells, Belgium
There is a village called Tilly there. And I did hear that there was a Castle Tilley, as well, but I have not found any information on it yet.
It is my understanding that all the Tilleys in America are from William Tilley,Jr. born in Exeter, England in 1685.
How would I go about finding his Birth Records?
I am trying to trace my family back through him to his Father William of England...and William's Father....John Tilley of England.
Any suggestions?
Thank you for any help!
Sincerely,
Carol Tilley Stephen
