Town of Cierrey (Sirre France) and the De Cierreys De Sirys
Posted by: v. suzanne sears (ID *****1949) Date: April 11, 2010 at 14:20:46

This a very large lineage out of Evreux.........

Very powerful family: they owned about 25 percent of all the fiefs in this region.

1180 AD in England: Hugh de Siry

1192 AD Guerin de Cierrey
1222 AD Raoul de Cierrey......and the Abbey Lyre......

a large number of these Cierrey fellows became Bishops........

by 1463 AD we have Phillipp de Cierry the Sire de Irreville

Whether or not the entire lineage of De Irreville has always been related I dont know: in 1188 AD we have Guillaume de Irreville in Eure witnessing a document of the Count of Aumary.

quite often members of a family did indeed have different last names back then: and were named after the fief they lived on

I believe the most common last name at some point attached to Irreville was Bauquet..........

In any event:

the De Cierreys have their origin in 1090 with Foulque de Bois-Normand

the original family name of the De Sirys was Normand.

who was a great friend and vassal of Guillaume de Breteuil..........a member of the Crepon family going back to Harold, King of Denmark.

Fulk had 3 de Siry sons: Adam, Thibault and Gilles......from which came the other De Sirys
