GEDCOMs can be exchanged. This page will be "underconstruction" as long as new data flows in to the author, soplease SHARE your ANSLEY information with us. BEGINNINGS: The ANNESLEY(original spelling) surname began in a small village about 10miles NW of the city of Nottingham in the English county ofNottingham. The village ANNESLEY was named for a Celtic chieftain named "Anna" who owned a meadow ("lea" in oldEnglish); thus, "Anna's -lea". Levinot was the lastSAXON Lord to hold the village of Annesley. As a reward for theirpart in the Battle of Hastings in 1066, one Norman family led byRalph Fitz-Hubert (who served under the Duke of Maine) was giventhe village and surrounding lands. Indeed, he acquired severalvillages/lands in NOTTS. Ralpe Brito de Annesley managed theproperty at ANNESLEY for Ralph Fitz-Hubert. It has been reportedthat Ralpe Brito had traveled to England with Fitz-Hubert, whohad accompanied William the Conqueror, in the Battle of Hastings.Eventually, this family took the name de Annesley, which wasfurther anglicized to ANNESLEY. Over time, a fine English manorhouse was built ... called ANNESLEY HALL. This property served asthe seat of the Annesley family from about 1068 until about 1442when Alice de Annesley married Sir George Chaworth (from anotherold Norman family). Thus, the Chaworths occupied the propertyuntil about 1805 when Mary Ann Chaworth married John"Jack" Musters and the family took on the nameChaworth-Musters (Mary Ann brought considerable wealth into themarriage). Descendants of this family occupied the Hall until1974 when Major Robert P. Chaworth-Musters moved one mile west toFelley Priory (built by Rallpe Brito de Annesley in 1156).Annesley Hall and the surrounding acreage have been sold severaltimes without any significant change in the use of the property(attended only by a caretaker). More recently, a pending salewould renew the manor house and stables and build a resort hoteland championship golf course. This outcome remains in doubt.Indeed, in September 1997, a portion of the house BURNED. I'mtold that the present owner replaced the slate roof with acomposition one, NOT in keeping with the remainder of theroofline. Immediately adjacent to the manor house is Old AnnesleyChurch with graveyard. It is now owned and protected by a localhistorical society. NEW Annesley Church (All-Saints) is locatedabout a mile NE and it was built in 1874. Many artifacts from theold church are now displayed in "new" Annesley church,including an 11th century Norman font. No Annesley family membersare known to reside in this area today. When the female heirmarried the Chaworth, male descendants moved to other parts ofthe Kingdom. Eventually, Francis Annesley moved to County Armaghin Northern Ireland and gained considerable prestige and wealth.He became Sir Francis Annesley. This family gained severalpeerages including Earl of Annesley and Earl of Anglesey. Theformer is an Irish peerage (lowest rank in the system withEngland first, Scotland second, Ireland third). Castlewellan, inCounty Down, was built by a descendant of Sir Francis, mentionedabove. Descendants maintain a significant presence in County Cork(and other part of Ireland and Northern Ireland) in the presentday. Another village named ANSLEY lies in Warwickshire, beingnamed for Princess Ann ("Ann's Lea"), so the storygoes. This village also pre-existed the Norman Conquest. No knownAnsley families live in this area today if ever they did. AinslieCastle can be found in Scotland but any connection to theANNESLEY family is unknown. Back to top NORTH AMERICAN PRESENCE: There are at least sevendistinctly separate (on North American side of the Atlantic)Ansley families in the USA and Canada today.
