Note: Although Thomas Marris is Person 1 in this document, in the full pedigree, he is Person 23.8. His father, George Marris of Barrow upon Humber, Lincs., is Person 22.11. See “Marris of Burton Corner.pdf” on https://www.marrisfamilyhistory.uk/.
Thomas Marris made his will (LCC Wills 1770/112) on 21 February 1768. In his will, he described himself as Thomas Marris of Wrawby in the County of Lincoln, farmer. His will (see below) provides ample proof of relationships and his place in the Marris pedigree accepted by the College of Arms in 1940.
One of his descendants was Edward Gillyatt Marris (1786-1829) who changed his name by deed poll to Edward Gillyatt Gillyatt and who married Charlotte Hargrave at Liverpool, Lancs, on 26 Aug 1822. Some of the Gillyatt descendants are included in this tree.

Thomas Marris made his will (LCC Wills 1812/210) on 27th May 1807. It was proved on 30th January 1812. In his will, Thomas described himself as a farmer of Barrow and named numerous relatives including sons, daughters, grand-children and his Ellen Marris, his wife.
An MI at All Saints, Cadney, reads:

Ann married John Dudding on 8 Dec 1796 in Cadney, Lincs. John was born about 1766.
An Ann Dudding appear in the 1841 Census at Cadney. One presumes that this was widow Ann Dudding (née Marris) living with her brother John Marris. The entry reads:

The 1841 Census at Cadney cum Horsham, Lincs, shows:

William made his will (LCC Wills 1827/187) on 12th April 1826. It was proved on 15th November 1827. The probatum confirms that William died on 1st May 1827. In the will, William describes himself as Gentleman of Cadney. The will mentions property at Kirmington. It mentions his wife Jane Marris - but their marriage has not been located.
The index of wills at Somerset House shows:
William Marris (Gentleman) late of Cadney, Lincs. d. 01 May 1827. Letters of Administration with the Will annexed. £200. Left unadministered by Jane Marris (Widow, Relect) & John Marris (Brother).

24 F viii. Mary Marris was christened on 21 Nov 1773 in Nettleton, Lincs. Mary married John Chapman on 21 May 1789 in Cadney, Lincs.
10. George Marris (Thomas) was christened on 26 Feb 1745/1746 in Wootton, Lincs. He died on 6 May 1818 in Kirmond-le-Mire, Lincs. He was buried on 6 May 1818 in Kirmond-le-Mire, Lincs.
George married Ann Gillyatt on 10 May 1771 in Elsham, Lincs. Ann was born about 1749. She died on 28 Sep 1822 in Kirmond-le-Mire, Lincs. She was buried on 28 Sep 1822 in Kirmond-le-Mire, Lincs.
George made his will (LCC Wills 1818/159) on 25th July 1816. It was proved on 26th October 1818. When he made his will, George described himself as a grazier of Kirmond le Mire. (The probatum described him as William Marris of Wickenby.)
George left all of his properties (locations unspecified) to his wife Ann for life and, after her decease, these to be equally divided between his sons William Marris and Robert Marris. He also left his children various monetary amounts, including the following:
30 Sep 2015 (V3) © G Philip Marris Page 4 "I give and bequeath unto my said Son Edward Gilliatt Gilliatt the sum of One Hundred Pounds my said Son having been very amply provided for by my and his late Friend Mr Gilliatt is the reason I do not bequeath him a legacy equal to any of my other children and hope he will not think or impute the smallnefs of the Sum to any want of Affection or respect for him.".
At various points in the will, George refers to the above son as "Edward Gilliatt Gilliat (late Edward Gilliatt Marris). This is the Edward, described below, who changed his surname from Marris to Gillyatt by Deed Poll.
An MI at St Martin, Kirmond le Mire, Lincs, reads:
Near this spot lies the remains of George Marris interred May 6th 1818, aged 73 years,Also Ann his wife September 28th 1822 aged 73 years.[inside the church, tablet]
George and Ann had the following children:
25 F i. Mary Marris was christened on 9 Feb 1772 in Elsham, Lincs. She was buried on 2 Mar 1772 in Elsham, Lincs.
26 M ii. Thomas Marris was christened on 11 Aug 1773 in Kirmond-le-Mire, Lincs. He was buried on 24 Apr 1844 in Kirmond-le-Mire, Lincs.
In the 1990s, another Marris researcher provided me with the wife and descendants of a Thomas Marris whom she thought was this one. However, her theory appears to be wrong as the Thomas shown here was more likely of Binbrooke and was buried at Kirmond. The LFHS has a burial entry for Thomas Marris at Kirmond Le Mire, Lincs,on 24 Apr 1844, describing him as Age 71, of Binbrook.
27 M iii. John Marris was christened on 8 Sep 1774 in Kirmond-le-Mire, Lincs.
Note that the Kirkby Collection (held at the Lincolnshire Archives) suggests that John was baptised at Elsham on 9th June 1775. However, the Kirmond-le-Mire version looks preferable since I have seen the entry in the actual PRs.
+ 28 M iv. William Marris was christened on 22 Oct 1775. He died on 14 Jun 1865.
29 F v. Mary Ann Marris was christened on 7 Dec 1776 in Kirmond-le-Mire, Lincs.
30 F vi. Anne Marris was christened on 4 Jan 1778 in Kirmond-le-Mire, Lincs.

32 M viii. Robert Marris was christened on 5 Apr 1779 in Kirmond-le-Mire, Lincs. He died on 22 Mar 1843 in Burbrooke, Lincs. He was buried on 25 Mar 1843 in Kirmond-le-Mire, Lincs.
The 1841 Census at Orford Extra Parochial, Lincs, shows:
Robert Marris, 60, Ind, Y
An obituary in the Hull Advertiser records the death of Robert Marris in 1843, a farmer of Binbrooke, age 62.

17. Thomas Marris (Thomas, Thomas) was christened on 8 Apr 1760 in Cadney, Lincs. He died on 12 Jun 1805.
We know from his father's will that Thomas Marris was dead by 27th May 1807. Thomas died intestate and an administration (LCC Admons 1805/54) was granted to his widow Ann Bust Marris of Kirmington 13th August 1805. The Admon gives Thomas' date of death as 12th June 1805.
Thomas married Ann Bust
Thomas' wife, Ann Bust Marris of Kirmington, made her will (LCC Wills 1824/179) on 30th October 1823. She died on 28th April 1824 and the will was proved on 25th October 1824.
Another Marris researcher noted a possible marriage in the Hull Holy Trinity PRs. Thomas Marris, 21 of Kirmington, married Ann Bush Clayton, 24, of Hull on 18 Oct 1787. Coincidentally, one of Ann Bust Marris's grandchildren was Caroline Clayton Marris. The fly in the ointment is that the PR gives the age of Thomas as only 21 at the time of his marriage which, if true, would mean he was born around 1765/66. Perhaps the PR was misread and his age was in fact 27 - which would fit much more nicely with the Thomas Marris shown here.
Thomas and Ann Bust had the following children:
40 F i. Ellen Marris was christened on 4 May 1788 in Kirmington, Lincs. She died on 30 Aug 1856. She was buried on 2 Sep 1856 in Cadney, Lincs.
The 1841 Census at Kirmington shows:
Charles Marris, 35, Farmer, Y Ellen Marris, 40, Y Sarah Wright, 20, FS, Y John Drewry, 16, MS, Y
It is presumably the same brother and sister who appear in the 1851 Census at Kirmington despite the age discrepancies. The entry reads:
Charles(?) Marris, Head, Un, 50, Farmer, 120 Acres, Kirmington, Lincs Ellen Marris, Sister, Un, 56, Housekeeper, Kirmington, Lincs.
An MI at All Saints, Cadney, reads:
John Marris, died 14th May 1817, aged 78 years. Also, Ellen his niece (sic) died 30th August 1856, aged 67 years.
41 F ii. Mary Marris was christened on 2 Aug 1789 in Kirmington, Lincs. Mary married George Patchett on 2 Nov 1815 in Kirmington, Lincs.
+ 42 M iii. Thomas Marris was christened on 19 Jan 1791. He died on 21 Dec 1855.
43 F iv. Ann Marris was christened on 30 Sep 1792 in Kirmington, Lincs. Ann married Josiah Birkinshaw in 1814 in Kirmington, Lincs.
44 M v. John Marris was christened on 17 Aug 1794 in Kirmington, Lincs. He died on 25 Oct 1813. He was buried on 28 Oct 1813 in Cadney, Lincs.
An MI at All Saints, Cadney, reads:
John Marris, died 25th October 1813, aged 19 years.
30 Sep 2015 (V3) © G Philip Marris Page 7
One assumes the above MI relates to this John Marris but it would be useful to have supporting evidence. The Cadney PRs record the burial of this same John on 28th October 1813 describing him as aged 19 and of Brigg.
45 M vi. Charles Marris was christened on 14 Jan 1798 in Kirmington, Lincs. He died on 6 Sep 1868. He was buried on 8 Sep 1868 in Cadney, Lincs.
Charles Marris was in the 1841 and 1851 Censuses at Kirmington, Lincs, with his sister (see Ellen Marris above).
And, in 1861, he was at 41 Enginegate, Louth, Lincs, in the household of Josiah Burkishaw and his wife Ann (who was Charles Marris's sister), as follows:
Josiah Burkinshaw, Head, Mar, 69, Retired Farmer, born Grasby Lincolnshire Ann Burkinshaw, Wife, Mar, 68, born Kirmington Lincolnshire Ellen Burkinshaw, Daur, Un, 37, born Grasby Lincolnshire Charles Marris, Visitor, Un, 55, Retired Farmer, born Kirmington Lincolnshire . . . and 1 Servant
The index of wills at Somerset House shows:
Charles Marris (Batchelor & Gentleman) late of Kirmington, Lincs. d. 06 Sep 1868. £8,000. Admon To; Ann Burkinshaw (wife of Josiah Burkinshaw, Gentleman) of Louth, Lincs, the sister and one of the next of kin of the deceased.
An MI at All Saints, Cadney, reads:
Charles Marris, died 6th September mdcccliii (1853?), aged lii (52 years?).
The years in brackets were added with question marks by the transcriber. One assumes that the Roman numerals were unclear. From his Admon, the true date was 6th September 1868. Also, the Cadney PRs record his burial two days later on 8th September 1868 which means he was aged 69 when he died.
22. Ellen Marris (Thomas, Thomas) was christened on 8 Oct 1769 in Cadney, Lincs.
Ellen married William Hogg on 24 Dec 1793 in Wrawby, Lincs.
Details for the children of William & Eleanor (Ellen) Hogg were provided by a descendant of this couple.
William and Ellen had the following children:
46 M i. Charles Marris Hogg was christened on 6 Jul 1794 in Helpringham, Lincs.
Charles Marris Hogg was a cabinet maker.
Charles married Mary Robinson on 17 Jul 1831 in Manchester Cathedral, Manchester, Lancs.
47 M ii. William Hogg was christened on 26 May 1799 in Goxhill, Lincs.
48 M iii. Thomas Hog was christened on 13 Oct 1803 in Cadney, Lincs.
IGI has baptism as 30 Oct 1803 rather than 13 Oct 1803.
49 F iv. Ann Marris Ogg was christened on 22 Dec 1805 in Cadney, Lincs. She died on 30 Nov 1824. She was buried in Haxey, Lincs.

William married (1) Mary Dudding on 22 Jul 1805 in Kirmond-le-Mire, Lincs. Mary died in Jan 1814 in Wickenby, Lincs.
They had the following children:
52 M i. William Marris was born about 1806/1808. He died on 6 Apr 1824. He was buried in Kirmond-le-Mire, Lincs.
53 M ii. George Edward Marris was born in 1808 in Tetford, Lincs. He was christened on 31 May 1808 in Tetford, Lincs. He died on 12 May 1867. He was buried on 15 May 1867 in Kirmond-le-Mire, Lincs.
George Edward Marris is named in his father's will.

It is not clear whether Eliza Marris (15) above was Robert's wife or indeed what relationship Maria Mills (6) had to the family, if any.
If the above is the same George Edward Marris, then the above Thomas (68) was his uncle and Robt Duding(?) Marris (20) his younger brother.

William married (2) Judith Dudding on 10 May 1817 in Holy Trinity, Hull, Yorks. Judith was born about 1780. She died on 1 Feb 1849. She was buried in Kirmond-le-Mire, Lincs.
According to a present-day Dudding researcher, Mary and Judith Dudding were sisters, the daughters of Robert Dudding of Cadney who himself was a brother of the Ellen Dudding who married Thomas Marris on 17 April 1759.
The 1841 Census at Sotby, Lincs, shows:
William Marris, 65, Y Judith Marris, 60, Y . . . and 6 Servants
William Marris appears with his son George Edward Marris in the 1851 Census at Kirmond le Mire:
George Edw Marris, Head, Un, 42, Farmer, 800 Acres, 35 Labs, Tetford, Lincs William Marris, Father, Wid, 75, Retired, Kirmond, Lincs.
William Marris made his will on 27th February 1854 and added a codicil on 9th July 1859 that mentions that his son, Edward, had become incapable of managing his own affairs. The will was proved at Lincoln on 15th December 1865. In his will, William describes himself as a Gentleman of Kirmond le Mire. The probatum describes him as "formerly of Kirmond le Mire and late of Market Rasen" and says that he died at Market Rasen. Kirkby also tells us that William died on 14th June 1865, and that the death occurred at the residence of Dr Tucking at Market Rasen, and that oil paintings of both his wives passed to William's grandson George Marris of Kennington (?Kensington).
The index of wills at Somerset House shows:
William Marris (Gentleman), formerly of Kirmond le Mire but late of Market Rasen, Lincs. d. 14 Jun 1865 at Market Rasen. £5,000. To; George Edward Marris (Gentleman, Son & one of the Executors) of Kirmond Le Mire.
An MI at St Martin, Kirmond le Mire, reads:
William Marris, 14th June 1865, aged 89, And his wife Judith 1st February 1849, aged 69. John Marris, 24th August 1880, aged 4 months. William Marris, 6th April 1824, aged 16 years. (another Marris researcher read the age as 18 years) Edward Marris, 26th November 1869, aged 58 years.
[Not sure who the infant John was – presumably a grandchild]
William and Judith had the following children:
+ 57 M vi. Robert Dudding Marris was christened on 20 Nov 1818.
37. Edward Gillyatt Gillyatt (né Marris) (George, Thomas) was christened on 14 May 1786 in Kirmond-le-Mire, Lincs. He died on 13 Feb 1829 in Wickenby, Lincs.
This is the Edward Gillyatt Marris who changed his name by deed poll to Edward Gillyatt Gillyatt. A researcher of the Gillyatt line told me that Edward Gillyatt Marris' mother, Ann Marris (née Gillyatt) had a first cousin called Edward Gillyatt, a wealthy man who worked for the Bank of England in London. It is believed that he was godfather to Edward Gillyatt Marris. Edward of the Bank died childless and left his entire fortune of over £20,000 in 1789 to his godson on the understanding he would change his name to Gillyatt. This he did, and his descendants thereby had the name of Gillyatt instead of Marris.
30 Sep 2015 (V3) © G Philip Marris Page 11 According to the Kirkby Collection at the Lincoln Archives: "Edward Gillyatt Gillyatt Esq of Wickenby House, Co. Lincoln, son of Geo. Marris of Kirmond by his wife Anne, married Charlotte, Dau of the Rev. Charles Hargrave, Rector of Eyam, Derby. Charlotte died at Cressington Park, Liverpool on 19th November 1867, aged 75, and was buried at Wickenby(?) six days later on 25th November". Kirkby adds that Edward Gillyatt Gillyatt was a captain in the Royal North Lincoln Militia in 1809.

The NZ Papers Past web site (Southland Times) recorded the death and burial of Eliza Marris, widow of Robert Dudding Marris.
Note also a possible descendant of this couple. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission shows the WW1 death of Lance Corporal Robert Charles Marris on 4th October 1917 at the age of 21. He was serving with the Wellington Regiment N.Z.E.F., 17th Coy. 3rd Bn.
He is shown as the son of Helen Marris, of 53, Baker St., Parkside, Dunedin, and the late Robert Dudding Marris. Native of Auckland. Employed in Government Census Offices.

I previously had Eliza Marris buried on 14 Mar 1923 at Cadney, Lincs, The Cadney PRs described her as age 69, of Howsham.
On reflection, I now think the burial refers to another Eliza Marris - the Eliza Marris (nee Green) who was married to John Marris (b.1856/7-??) who married Eliza Green in 1877. See “Marris of Healing” tree.

The Stainton le Vale PRs show that John Marris was married to Sarah when his daughter Elizabeth Kitty Marris was baptised (see her entry below). Sarah may have been Sarah Clarke. The VRI shows the marriage on 4 Dec 1851 at Hook, Yorks, between John Marris & Sarah Clark. The VRI gives the name of John's father as Thomas Marris. Sarah's father was given as George Clark. One would need to check the actual PR to be sure this was the right Sarah (assuming the marriage entry recorded the groom's Parish).
