Greetings Listers One of my 11th Great-grandfathers was Richard ELVERY who died in Rye on 19/20 May 1564 (he signed his Will on 19th and was buried on 20th). When I checked the SFHG database for ELVERY, there were just 3 entries - Richard's burial and one entry under each of two other headings. Does anyone know of any variant of this name that I should be searching for please? Or does anyone else have any information on the surname ELVERY in Sussex in the early centuries of PRs? Although I have the dates for Richard's Will, I don't appear to have a copy of it (although in changing computers something may have gone missing!) Has anyone any information on this 1564 Will of Richard ELVERY. Many thanks Pam Beaudesert, Queensland, Australia.

Hi Pam, Do have Ancestry ?, the will you refer to is Elveryd in the Extract Probate Records. You can't see the will. There is Elverie alternative aswell. Just try Richard Elver*. Hope this helps.

Hi Pam, Hi Pam, Have a look at this website http://www.felbridge.org.uk/index.php?p=2_53 Second paragraph - The name of Alfrey has had many different spellings over the years, Alfray, Alfry, Alfrye, Allfray, Allfree, Alferay, Affery, Alphrey, Alfrai, Alfrais, Alfraies and Elvery, to name but a few. I don't know if you have the SMI but searching on Elvery only produces the obvious variations - but searching on Alvery finds many of the above and more.If you don't have it let me know and I will put a list together for you. all the best, Anne > From: cliveden@iinet.net.au > To: SFHG-L@rootsweb.com; SUSSEX-PLUS-L@rootsweb.com > Date: Sat, 2 Nov 2013 14:58:38 +1000 > Subject: [SXP] ELVERY surname > > Greetings Listers > > One of my 11th Great-grandfathers was Richard ELVERY who died in Rye on 19/20 May 1564 (he signed his Will on 19th and was buried on 20th).
