 Includes NotesNotes for Ralph "Rito Brito" Annesley:
The Annesley (original spelling) surname Began in a small village 10 miles NW of the city of Nottingham in the English county of Nottingham. The village Annesley was named for a Celtic chieftan named "Anna" who owned a meadow ("lea" in old English). Levinot was the last Saxon Lord to hold Annesley. As a reward for their part in the Battle of Hastings in 1066, one Norman family, Ralph Fitz-Hubert was given the village and surrounding lands. Ralpe Brito de Annesley managed the property at Annesley for Ralph Fitz-Hubert. It has been reported that Ralpe Brito de Annesley had traveled to England with Fitz-Hubert, who had accompanied William the Conqueror, in the Battle of Hastings. Eventually, this family took up the name de Annesley, which was further Anglicized to Annesley.
