Provenance

A not particularly common name though with many variants, the "Ellyard" families appear in early records in northern England (Northumberland, Yorkshire) and southern England (Kent, Sussex).

[the following is from Wayne Elyard on genforum.com (13 December 2001), in replies to a query from Jak Elyard]
There seem to have been several distinct [Ellyard] family groups, notably in the Sussex/Kent region, also London itself, and other branches in Hampshire and Norfolk. Add to this some Elyards in Northumberland circa 1700, who originally used the spelling "ayleyard", it makes the whole thing quite difficult to chart. Also, the variant "Eliard" comes up often, and there is evidence that some Eliard's came from France.

Circa 1600 there were at least three "Ellyard" families in St Peter's, Kent, as detailed below. For the next 100 years there were a lot of Elyard/Ellyard/Elliards around the London area, most notably referring to "St Botolph Without Aldgate". It was in the mid-late 1700s when Elyards appear again in Kent, this time around Rainham and Gillingham.
