Early Origins of the Yellin family

The surname Yellin was first found in Lancashire at Yealand. 1 2 "Yealand Conyers and Yealand Redmayne are two townships in the parish of Warton, Lancashire Yealand Hall still remains." 3

There we found John de la Yaldelonde in Devon and William de Yelaund in Northumberland in the Hundredorum Rolls of 1273. 3 Back in Lancashire, Adam de Yelland was warden of the Honor of Lancaster, 13 Henry III (during the thirteenth year of the reign of Henry III.) 4

Later the Howdenshire Poll Tax Rolls of 1379 included an entry for Willelmus de Yeland. 3
