Early Origins of the Trounce familyThe surname Trounce was first found in Yorkshire where the surname is descended from the tenant of the lands of Wartre, in Holderness and was recorded in the Domesday Book census of 1086. 1 Le Sire de Troussebot or Pagan (Payne) Troussbot's chief domain was at Nuebourg in Normandy and he was at the Battle of Hastings. His son, Geoffrey FitzPayne, held the estates in Yorkshire. 2 Early feudal rolls provided the king of the time a method of cataloguing holdings for taxation, but today they provide a glimpse into the wide surname spellings in use at that time. William Trussebut was listed in Cheshire in 1154 and Ylaria Trussebut was found in the Pipe Rolls for Northumberland in 1208. Later, Geoffrey Trussebut was found in the Assize Rolls for Yorkshire in 1363. The name is derived from the Old French word trusser, a nickname for a porter or a carrier. William Trushernays was listed in the Subsidy Rolls for Northumberland in 1296. The variant Trounce and Trouncer originated in London where Gilbert le trunchier was first found in the Pipe Rolls for 1192. Later, Henry le Truncer was listed in Wakfield. Yorkshire in 1315. 3 Early History of the Trounce familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Trounce research.
