GRAND GROUP OF FAMILIES FOUNDED BY THE REFUGEES.
Allix. — From Dean Allix (see chap, xvi.) two families have sprung. (1.) Allix of Willoughby Hall. The Dean’s only son on record was Charles Allix, Esq. of Swaffham, whose wife was Catherine, daughter of Thomas Greene, Bishop of Ely; and their eldest son was the first Allix of Willoughby Hall (Rev. Charles Wager Allix), who was succeeded, in 1795, by Charles Allix, J.P. and D.L. This Mr. Allix died in 1866, aged eighty-three, and the present head of his family is his son, Frederick William Allix of Willoughby Hall, Lincolnshire.
(2.) Allix of Swaffham. This family has kept alive its great ancestors’ many ties to the county of Cambridge. The founder was John Peter Allix, Esq., younger son of the first Charles; and his two sons, John-Peter and Charles, were successively chiefs of this branch. The latter was Colonel Allix, whose wife was his cousin, Mary Allix, and who, dying in 1862, aged seventy-five, was succeeded by the present Charles Peter Allix of Swaffham, his only child.
