General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Ivory

---

The name Ivory is of very ancient historical record and can be found in the archives of France and England, among the prominent educational, industrial, professional and po­litical men of those countries from the tenth century down.
The Ivory family is of Norman blood, and as early as A. D. 1079 one of its members was governor of the Duchy of Rouen in Nor­mandy and a close friend and ally of King William the Conqueror.

The name Ivory is of Norman French origin, and one ancient and honorable. Under Ivory, in “A Dictionary of the Family Names of the United Kingdom, endeavoured by Mark Antony Lower,” we find the following: “The family De Ivery were descended from Rodolph, half-brother to Richard the first, Duke of Normandy, who for killing a monstrous boar, while hunting with the Duke, was re­warded with the castle of Ivery, on the river l'Evre, and from thence entitled Comes de Iberio.” Elsewhere we find: John de Ivery obtained the Manor of Ambrosden, County Oxon, 1077, and Hugh de Iveri occurs as its lord in Domesday Book. It is believed (the name?) so originated is obsolete. 1391 Yvory, Cal. of Wills in the Court of Hastings, Bapt. the son of Ivor popularly Ivor. Ireland had a son St. Ivor or Ivery, who was considered to have prayed away the rats from Fernegenall, “Mures Majors qui vulgariter Rate vocantur,” so completely that none ever survived there again. But whether he was named Dane or Kelt does not appear. At any rate St. Ivery was deemed good enough to invoke against rats, Younge II, 249-250.-In some cases the familiar surname Every has assumed the in­itiative form of Ivory (of Ivens for Evans). Other forms are Everie, Iverye, Ivey, Ivy. [HAC 1914, 650]
