Last name: Viall


Recorded in many spelling modern forms including Vial, Viall, Vitall, Vittle, Viel, Vyel, and no doubt others, this is an English surname. It is or was originally a personal name of endearment from the pre 7th century and possibly as far back as Roman times. It derives from from the Latin word "vitalis", a derivative of "vita", meaning life or perhaps pertaining to life. It was introduced into Britain after the Norman Conquest of 1066 in the Old French forms of Vitel and Viel, and it became popular with Christians during the religious revival period of the 12th century as a symbol of their belief in eternal life, particulary as Vitalis was a name borne by a dozen of the early saints. The name development has included such recordings as Richard Viel of Devonshire in 1194, John Vitell of Sussex in 1207, Henry Vyel of Worcestershire in 1275, and Thomas Vyall of Suffolk in 1574. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Radulfus Vitalis. This was dated 1086, in the Domesday Book for Devonshire, during the reign of King William Ist of England, 1066 - 1086. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

Trudy Report 13 Nov 2014 07:47

Hello I. Was hoping someone might be able to help me,
I have been tracing my tree for a while now and contacted another person with a possible match only to be really confused by his reply.
It was as follows

My match was
Thomas vial b 1795 Essex married to Elizabeth smee their children were all born in Essex and were
Elizabeth vial b1819,,
Sarah vial b1820,,
Thomas vial b1821,,
Joseph vial b1826,,
Alfred vial b1828,,

But when I got a reply from my match he had a completely different child called Frederick o Viall born to the same parents and said my ones were wrong?? Have I got it wrong?? I was wondering if anybody could help me at all try and clear this up as its really bothering me.

Thank you in advance
Trudy

Chris :)


Looking round there seems to be another born earlier Bocking Essex (Baptism 1784 Birthdate 1782) Find My Past.

So could get confusing, also that surname could have quite a few variants. What evidence does he have?...

Hello again Chris

Well this is the thing when I asked him about it he didn't reply to my message. Then gave me access to his tree and said that I had got the parents wrong for my Thomas vial b1821.

And when I looked at his tree he has my Thomas 1821 under Elizabeth Smee and unknown?? So I am confused.

It doesn't take much to confuse me but ???

Thank you
Trudy :-)

If you have found Baptisms of yours, as evidence, then you could tell him!, otherwise 'put Frederick on hold'.

Is that the Death of your Thomas posted earlier, when did Elizabeth die, have you got them on Census?...

Chris :)

I did find Thomas in 1861 living in Hyde rd great Waltham Essex,
yeah that's my Thomas's death record 1866,
Elizabeth died in 1860 in great Waltham Essex.

Trudy :-)

Can see 1863 Elizabeth Find My Past have Memorial Inscription Belchamp Otten Essex.

Deaths Dec 1863 (>99%)
VIALL ELIZABETH Risbridge 4a 272


Are they your Census posted by Potty earlier?...

Chris :)

(1861 FMP has Hyde Road Great Waltham Thomas Dial 1822, not seeing Father)

the Thomas 1795 is my one but the others I'm not sure on.

Is that my Elizabeth you posted the death record for?? With her I cant remember where I got the death as 1860 because I got a bit engrossed in Thomas.

Trudy :-)

You would need her Death Cert...

Chris :)

(another above?)

Ok I'll try and get it

Thank you Chris :-)

Your a star for being patient with me

There is a lady called Jacqueline who has been helping on the other thread who has found a Freddie Oswald Viall 1830 parents Thomas and Eliza b little Waltham Essex which is what my Thomas vial 1821 has on his birth record so if we're right they were brothers??? Or am I just going off on a tangent??

Trudy :-)

Frederick Oswald Viall is the name the other person gave me on their tree Chris. And then said I had mine all wrong.

If they are brothers then we've cracked it.. You lot are so clever thank you x

Can I please just say thank you so much to everyone who has helped me with this, and also just to let you know because of your help it has made me do more research and I've found more siblings of my grandads that we didn't know about.
So as I said before a big big thank you

Trudy x :-)

That's good, lol, but don't forget if you take info. from other 'Trees', make sure you have evidence wherever possible!...(Baptism, Marriages etc., whether from Parish Records, or Certs.)

Chris :)

(sometimes help to read back through the 'Threads' in case anything missed)


Not sure if you know, but left of page here, under heading 'Tools' see 'My Threads', this will help you to add at a later date, so info. relating keeps together)

Thank you Chris I was wondering how you add another thread to another one lol

I've been sitting here trolling ( think that's how you spell it? ) through census records and family search etc and have come up with a few possible siblings for my grandad so I am going to check them out.

Thank you again for your help your brilliant

Trudy :-)

My grandad was Leonard Harry viall 1907 woolwich parents Harry viall & Kate galley

I already had Edith f viall 1916 woolwich
Albert g viall 1919 Woolwich as his siblings but then I found these

Albert Edward viall 1902 woolwich
Ada Elizabeth viall 1901 woolwich
Elsie may viall 1904 woolwich
Sydney george viall 1909-1910 woolwich
