Ellys baronets

Last updated

The Ellys Baronetcy, of Wyham in the County of Lincoln, was a title in the Baronetage of England.

Contents

The baronetcy was created on 30 June 1660 for Thomas Ellys. [1] This may have compensation for the lapsing of the grant of a baronetcy to his uncle William by Oliver Cromwell. [2] The first baronet was reportedly a 'drunken sot', who died young. His son William, the second Baronet, was raised by his great uncle and inherited from him a substantial estate around Grantham. [2] The second Baronet was Member of Parliament for Grantham between 1679 and 1713. [2] The third Baronet was Member of Parliament for Grantham and Boston. The title became extinct on his death in 1742. [3]
