I've only just noticed this thread - sorry.

I have a document tree starting with Robert de Blomevile (circa 1190) of Newton Flotman, Norfolk which leads on to include five generations of Williams Blomefield of Little Stonham (16th/17th century). It's thin on dates but the line of descent is clear enough.

Any use?

Hi guys,

I thought it was all a bit quiet - and for some reason I've not been getting my email alerts since I changed my email address - anyone know how I 'turn' them back 'on'?

How odd

Must go read now and catch up with all the stuff going on!

Yi! :-)

Hi,

 and onto .....

'According to records kept at Notre-Dame de Dives, in Dives sur Mer, Normandy, the de Blonville family was numbered among Duke William's 345 Companions in Arms who sailed in 1066 for the Battle of Hastings. Later, in 1068, Charles de Blonville followed the post-conquest resettlement opportunities (free land and manors) and took up substantial landholdings (until the late 20th century it was called Clockhouse Farm) near Saxmundham in Suffolk, East Anglia, where they remained until the mid 1800's. Selling the landholdings, they moved into the brewing industry first in Manchester and later in Australia. The family is well represented in the Church of St John in Saxmundham and on monuments in the attached graveyard.

It was recently claimed by Peter Blomfield, family genealogist and businessman based in Sydney, that evidence has been discovered suggesting that Duke William of Normandy, the illegitimate heir to the Normandy title, was - through his mother, Herleve de Falaise, the daughter of a wealthy Breton tanner - actually a member of the de Blonville family. Earl holds the title of Viscount de Blonville of Saxmundham.


I have heard of this....

According to records kept at Notre-Dame de Dives, in Dives sur Mer, Normandy, the de Blonville family was numbered among Duke William's 345 Companions in Arms who sailed in 1066 for the Battle of Hastings.


however the name is NOT logged in the engraved panel at the church where all Williams knights were listed before they left to invade England.

Later, in 1068, Charles de Blonville followed the post-conquest resettlement opportunities (free land and manors) and took up substantial landholdings



I dont know about a 'Charles' but there is a Richard.

This is the varying info I have on Richard....

Coat of Arms:-
Blomevile or Blundevile- Said to bear : Quarterly per fess
indented or and az , a bend gu
Blomeville. See Blumville,
Blondeviile, of Newton Flotman, Quarterly per fess indented
or and az,, a bendlet gu.
Blumville, Bishop Thomas de, died 1236. Said to bear: Quarterly,
per fess indented or and az., a bend arg. [?]. Same coat as Blondeviile.
Blundeville, Robert de. Quarterly, per fess indented or and az.,
over all a bendlet gu.

NOTE:- he is NOT recorded on the abbey rolls as coming over with William The C. - however Robert Count de Montaigne (1/2 brother to William C) DID come over as a close advisor to William and a decendent of his married Ralph de Blunvil - this Richard's grandson.

Richard de BLUNVILL was born in Blonville in Calvados, Normandy, France. He died after 1086. Had a grant of land in Sterleshey in Colne Engaine, Essex.

He had the following children:
William de BLUNVILL
Richard de BLUNVILL died before 1198.
Walter de BLUNVILL died after 1149.

Richard de blunvil from  Blonville, By Trouville, Calvados, Normandy France 1060-1086, had son William 1061 - 1092  Colne Engaine, Essex, England

Richard de Blonville who was the subtenant to Hubert de Monte Caniso, near Blonville, Normandy in 1086. from whom were descended the following, Robert de Blondeville (or Blmeville) living in 1190 in Newton Flotman, Norwich, England, Sir William de Blomvyle, the Constable of Corfe Caste and thomas de Blumville, the Bishop of Norwich in 1226, formerly constable of the Tower of London (1224) and nephew of Hugh de Burgh.

Note: It was normal for a land owner (hubert) to have the same subtenants (Richard) in Normandie as in England.

Wakes Colne on line:-
Part of the Little Colne estate held of Robert Malet by Walter of Caen in 1086 (fn. 76) extended into Wakes Colne where it formed the freehold or submanor of Serdeleshey or LOVENEY HALL. It was held of Colne Engaine manor until 1556 or later. (fn. 77) By the later 12th century William de Cheney or his successors had enfeoffed Richard Blunville, whose great nephew William Blunville disputed the estate with Richard Engaine between 1199 and 1201. (fn. 78) Another William Blunville held c. 1278. (fn. 79) By c. 1380 the estate was called Loveney Hall, pre- sumably from an owner; c. 1440 it belonged to a Culpepper.


De Blunvil name:-
This interesting name is of Norman French origin, introduced into England after the Conquest of 1066; it is a good example of the subsequent Anglicizing of foreign placenames to resemble native placename elements. Looking wholly English but being wholly French, the name is locational and derives from the village of Blonville-sur-Mer in Calvados, Normandy. The first element is an Old Norse personal name, the second is the Old French "ville", meaning settlement. The various modern spellings include Blomefield, Blomfield and Blumfield. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of William de Blunwill, which was dated 1207, the Hundred Rolls of Suffolk, during the reign of King John, known as "Lackland", 1199 - 1216

de blunvill
The surname of BLOOMFIELD was a locational name 'of de Blundeville' a place near Normandy, France. The name was brought to England in the wake of the Norman Conquest of 1066, and is familiar to Norfolk and Suffolk. It is known as the Domesday Book. Early records of the name mention William de Blundeville, 1273 County Norfolk

L C SEIR
THE ORIGIN.
In point of age, the family ranks as one of the oldest in East Anglia, and, for the, facts concerning its origin, the Writer is indebted to an excellent account by Sir Reginald Blomfield. R.A., published privately in 1910 by The Chiswick Press, entitled " A Suffolk Family. Being an account of the family of Blomfield in Suffolk.”

It   appears   the   family   migrated   from    the   little village of Blomville, on the Normandy coast.
Like a great many early English surnames, this was derived from its original place of settlement. For instance, entries on local (Colchester) Manorial Court Rolls contain records as follows : John atte Fen, Matthew atte Wood, which in time became John Fenn and Matthew Wood. In a similar way, we find the first record of this family is Robert de Blomeville living in 1190. He was, therefore, Robert of Blomvile, in Normandy.

Tanner Manuscripts contain six pedigrees of the family, all bear­ing the same Arms, which were: Quarterly, per fess, indented Agrent and Azure, a Bend, Gules.
Crest:   A lozenge,   gules,   between two wings erect,  sometimes without the lozenge.
