Early Origins of the Tie family

The surname Tie was first found in Yorkshire where the first entry for the family was the singular Dye (with no forename) in the Subsidy Rolls of 1301. In 1316, we found another entry, but this time it was for Walter Dye in Wakefield, but we have no way of knowing if this is the same person. 1

"The Norfolk family of Dye may find an explanation of its name in the existence during the reign of Charles I. of Mr. D'Eye of Eye in Suffolk. The ancient family of D'Eye of Scoulton, Norfolk, claimed a descent of 300 years. Deye was once a common old Norfolk name, but it is now scarce. We find the name of Dye in Buckinghamshire in the time of Edward I. " 2

Again in Yorkshire, we found two later entries for the family: Robertus Dy; and Willelmus Dei. Both were listed in the Yorkshire Poll Tax Rolls of 1379 as holding lands there at that time. 3
