John Antill

  General Notes:

The family of Antill is a very ancient one - it is known to have existed in England as early as the year 833. In the Doomsday Book in 1085, the name appears as land-holders in no fewer than 19 counties. As with most family names with a long history, the spelling varies considerably. The earliest form of the spelling was Ans-chetill. The Norman pronunciation rendered the 's' silent, hence it became Anchetill, Anchetil, Anketyll, Anketekk, Anktyll, Antell and Antill.

John married Mary Cox on 1 Jan 1796 in Bisley.³¹⁹
