The Farley Name: (note that this is the first time the spelling of Farlee is used) The Farley name is one of the oldest in the English family and dates back to the home of William the Conqueror, Castle Falaise in Normandy, A. D. 1000. Robert I Duke of Normandy, before starting on his journey of pilgrimage to the Holy Land, left his castle in the custody of William and Walter as lords of Falaise; and upon his death, Walter, being the eldest, became the lord, and William became the Conqueror, as known in English history.
Walter had one son, William, who went with his half-brother to England, as Williamus De Falasie, to whom were given twenty-six lordships in County Devon. The original spelling of the name is De Falaise. In the year 1200 it becomes Farley. The name is found spelled in eleven different ways: De Falaise, Ffar-lea, Ffarle, Farlo, Farly, Farlee, Farlegh, Farley, Farle, Fairley, Farlea. {ff's in olden time stood for a capital letter} The name is handed down from Williamus De Falaise through successive generations until we come to Thomas Farley of Bristol, who married Jane Hungerford of Farleigh Castle, Somersetshire, and had two sons, of which we have secured record.
