= Tilly, q.v.
1. Tilly is a town or village in the department of Calvados in Normandy; and there is a second place so called in the department of Eure. Tilly, Tille. Hund. Rolls. 2. A ' nurse-name ' of William.
Pryce translates Pentillie, "the master's, or head of the family;" and Borlase renders the word pentileu master of the family; but Pentillie in Pillaton probably derived the last part of its name from Sir James Tillie, who left the property to his sister's son, Mr. James Woolley, who took the name of Tillie.
The Tilleys or Tillys have been established in the county ever since the reign of Richard I. From the 12th to the 15th century the Tyllys or Tillys of Harptree owned the manor of West Harptree, and in the reign of Henry VI. they owned also the manor of Salty or Salthay (C.). In 1588, George Tilly of Pointingdon, gent., contributed £25 to the national fund for the defence of the country at the time of the expected invasion of the Spanish Armada (Sp.). Tilly was the name of a family of Bristol merchants at the close of the 17th century (B.). At present the Tilleys are most numerous in the Bridgewater district. Since Tylly was an ancient form of the name, it is probable that the Tyleys of Somerset hail from the same stock. Harptree Tilly is an ancient Somerset tithing: Tilly is also the name of a town in Normandy. The name has also long been represented in Cornwall, where it may have had an independent origin. James Tilly or Tillie of Pentilly or Pentillie was high sheriff of Cornwall in 1734 (Polwhele's "Cornwall"), and the name still occurs in Falmouth and its vicinity.
