The De'Anyers family, later Daniell of Cheshire, are an Anglo-Norman noble family who first settled in Cheshire during the late 11th century following their arrival with William the Conqueror from Bayeux.[1] Later lines are able to trace descent from the House of Plantagenet, House of Tudor, Viscounts Massereene and Grosvenor family.[2][3] In 1675 King Louis XIV issued letters patent granting members the titles of Marquis de Matragny and Marquis de Grangues.[4]
The main seat of the family from the 14th century until the early 18th century was Over Tabley Hall.[1]
The family frequently used Daniell as an anglicised version of the name .[5]
