See Humphrey Lilly (Lisle) in quite some trouble...no wonder we were fueders! See both webstories.

Can You Trace Your Line To Robert Lilly ? Yes...Great Granddaughter of Cousin Abe Lilly Via Goff Lilly

Do you have any thing to support your theory of being related to the royal family?

Can You Trace Your Line To Robert Lilly ? Yes

My understanding from our family reunion literature is that we claim ancestry descended from Humphrey Lisle (Lilly) who married Margret "Bones" of Streathlham Castle,daughter of the Sheriff of Northumberland. However, all records I could find referred to Humphrey as marrying the daughter of the "Bowes" family owner of that castle. Thus connecting us to Henry II via this mystery woman Ida through the Bowes family and Margaret's marriage to that roaring boy Humphrey Lisle. Go to:

This would also explain the family motto "familia regalis"..."Regal family."
