Where did the English Alia family come from? What is the English Alia family crest and coat of arms? When did the Alia family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Alia family history? Only recently has spelling become standardized in the English language. As the English language evolved in the Middle Ages, the spelling of names changed also. The name Alia has undergone many spelling variations, including Alye, Allye, Allie, Alley, Aley, Allee, Aleigh and many more. First found in Worcestershire where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor. The Saxon influence of English history diminished after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The language of the courts was French for the next three centuries and the Norman ambience prevailed. But Saxon surnames survived and the family name was first referenced in the 13th century when they held estates in that shire. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Alia research. Another 351 words(25 lines of text) covering the years 1455, 1487, 1510, 1600, and 1810 are included under the topic Early Alia History in all our PDF Extended History products. More information is included under the topic Early Alia Notables in all our PDF Extended History products. To escape the unstable social climate in England of this time, many families boarded ships for the New World with the hope of finding land, opportunity, and greater religious and political freedom. Although the voyages were expensive, crowded, and difficult, those families that arrived often found greater opportunities and freedoms than they could have experienced at home. Many of those families went on to make significant contributions to the rapidly developing colonies in which they settled. Early North American records indicate many people bearing the name Alia were among those contributors: Catherine Alyea, who was on record in Ameliasburgh in the census of Ontario of 1861; Sus Allie, who came to Virginia in 1690; and John Allie, who arrived in Canada in 1818..
The Alia Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Alia Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname. This page was last modified on 16 February 2011 at 13:50. ©2000-2012 Swyrich Corporation.
