Ellys baronets

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

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]
