I’m a Tilley… My grandpa migrated from England to Australia. His ancestors were Huguenots from Finistere Bretagne/Brittany. The surname was spelt Tilly up until my Grandpa..
That's awesome, I am a Tilley too! The research I have done points me towards Normandy, but I am not able to prove any links to the de Tilly family, so it's likely we were Farm workers tilling the fields.
Very descriptive and love the level of detail you've gone into this
Thank you for your feedback, it is much appreciated and happy to hear you enjoyed the video :D
