My father, Douglas william Orgill, did indeed visit a place called Orgill in the Orkneys - he was a journalist and was researching for an article. He (and his father and grandfather) cam e from Walsall, near Birmingham in the Midlands. There's also an Orgill School in Cumbria but I don't know how it got its name.

Hello Joe, I tried to send you an e-mail, but it bounced. Has your address changed? Vic Arguile in Australia told me about your webpage and says that you're also from the same Argyle/Argill/Orgill line that I am. My great-great-grandmother, Mary Ann Argyle, was born in Birmingham and emigrated to the US with her family. My father was named after her, as "Argyle" was his middle name, and my niece has just named her new baby "William Argyle" [surname McFarland]. I've had a look at your webpages - very interesting and well done. I'll have to spend some more time there looking around. On the "click here to see my own lines documented," however, the link doesn't seem to be valid. as the page it goes to says it no longer exists. Although I was born and raised in Arizona, I married an Englishman and now live in York. At the moment, I am involved in doing his family genealogy from scratch, but I like to keep up with my own family lines and hope to be able to put some more time in there at some point. Vic sends you his greetings, by the way. Best regards, Diane [Shumway] Ellerton

Hi Joe! My nephew sent me your web page URL. My sister married Charles William Orgill. I don't know much about this line, but hope to get some more info. from him. He says his cousin has more genealogy, but I am having trouble getting it from him because he doesn't see why we want to know all that "stuff". Here is all I have: Charles William Orgill II, b. Aug.23, 1928 in Pittsburgh, PA. (His father had the same name, but died when "Chuck" was very young.) He married Anna May Tubbs, Sept.10, 1949 in Greensburg, PA and they had 3 boys, two of whom are married and have children of their own. I have spent more time on my Dad's lines, so haven't pursued this line very hard, but my nephew and his wife are interested in genealogy so thought I would look up your web page. Very nice!. Sincerely, Sally Tubbs Mansell

The previous message dated 26/05/00 is actually older than that so the information may be outdated. We are a clan of Orgills living in Rainworth, Mansfield Nottinghamshire, UK. My husband is Gary Orgill and has lived in Rainworth all of his life. Gary has a brother called Lee who is a nurse in the local casualty department and some English residents may have seen him in the press recently as he was awarded for his bravery in saving his collegue who was being stabbed by a casualty patient. Gary's father is Keith and he was born in Blidworth, Notts in 1930. (Blidworth is the next village to Rainworth). Keith's father was Thomas Orgill who was born in Nottingham. Thomas Orgill's father was a Benjamin Orgill who was born in Ogley Hay, Staffordshire in 1877. He married an Emily Parkin in Chasetown, Staffs in 1899 and moved to Nottingham sometime afterwards. In the 1881 census when Benjamin was 4 years old he was documented as living in the "Trawfords building", Hammerwich with his father George Henry Orgill and his mother Mary Ann Orgill. He also had two siblings called George Orgill b1771 ish and James Taller b1772 ish ( I am not sure why the surname is different) There is another family of Orgills also living in the Trawford buildings. The head of the family is Alfred Orgill. We think George Henry Orgill had been married previously as he is named at the christning of twins in 1863. The twins are John Thomas and Harriet Orgill. In the 1881 census there is a John Thomas living in the Orgill building at Hammerwich with his "grandfather" Henry Orgill so we think Henry may be George Henry's father. ( this is getting complicated!) We are trying to find information on Henry Orgill because we think he may have come from Newhall, therefore linking him with the Derbyshire Orgills. We are trying to contact Ralph Orgill who I have contacted in the past ( his email is not working) to see if these Orgills are related to his clan. We didn't know there was a Hammerwich link at first and we mistakenly thought that they came from Cannock. Thanks for your time and we would be glad of any help from anyone. Caz Orgill

Hello, My name is Jim Orgel. I stumbled upon your genealogy page on the Internet, and boy, was I ever surprised! I have been interested in family history for a long time, and I thought my name was quite unique. Then I saw all the similar names you have listed and did I ever get an eye opener. I have traced my own family back from upstate New York, where I was born and where my ancestors settled in about the 1870s, having arrived from the Alsace-Lorraine region in France. (By the way, we pronounce the name so as to rhyme with "cordial.") The Orgel family had lived in the area between Strasbourg and Nancy, where they lived (and still reside) since the 1700s. The earliest record of an ancestor that I have traced is an Adam Orsel, who was probably born about 1690 in the Rhineland-Palatinate region of Germany. His seven children usually had their name spelled as Orschel, and when, in about the 1720s, the family moved to France, the name changed to Orgel. I have done some research about the name origin as well. In French, an "orgelet" is a place where sheep are kept. In German, an "orgel" is the musical organ instrument. In heraldry, "or" and "gules" are the names for the colors gold and red, respectively. Presently, I live near Charleston, South Carolina, with my wife and two sons. My brother and his son live in Rochester, NY. I have a cousin in Virginia, who has a son there and one in MA. These are the only Orgels I know in this country I am related to. I have quite a bit of research material available, but I have not put it on-line as yet. I am open to inquiries from others, and you can post my name on your web-site, if you wish, so that others may get in touch if they choose. Thanks very much for taking the time and effort for putting your site together. Wishing you well, Jim Orgel Jrorgel@aol.com

Hi, We are a family of Orgills living in Rainworth, Mansfield, nottinghamshire, UK. Although we are not the branch directly related to Ralph Orgill, we do have some Staffordshire roots because my husband's great grandfather came from Ogley Hay, Cannock chase. His name was Benjamin Orgill and his father was George Henry Orgill. We are interested in how the Orgills migrated to staffordshire and would like to know who we are related to. We have a little more information, if you are interested, about Nottinghamshire Orgills and we would appreciate any information you may have. I tried to leave a comment on the web page, but I was unable to. Thanks for your time, Mrs C. Orgill and Mr G. Orgill

Hello, I'm new to both surfing and genealogy, but since Bonnie contacted my dad -Derek Wilton Orgill, I've become very interested. My family spent an interesting day around Church Gresley Cemetery finding the Orgills buried there. So far we've got, Derek > Warwick Lionel >George d8.11.1951 aged 84, brothers Alf, Joe, sister Clara ...and a lot more work to do ! There are 6 more Orgill families buried in the cemetery, but I can't seem to get into your comments page to share the info. Hope this works.

I am still alive. I apologize that this guest page has not been working. I changed providers about 6 months ago, and I am just barely fixing all of the little things that didn't work. I still want to add to the ORGILL page. I will be adding information that Jim Orgel sent me concerning his genealogy in France and Germany. I believe we are related. I think the Orgel's came to Normandy, then over to England in 1066. See page for details.

Looking for Thomas &Ann Walden Jones Family from Wales and Hunter, UT. Son Thomas (Ephraim) my GrGrandpa and I would like any information I can get. The family is gone and all the information is gone now. I would like to hear from anyone who knew these people. My Grandmother was Susie Winnifred Jones Whitehead born 1882 Salt Lake City, UT area. Her mother was Elizabeth Davies Jones Johnson from Glamorgan, Wales. She married Ephraim Jones 1878 in Wales. Ephraim died in 1902 and Elizabeth married a Johnson but no information on him. She lived in Heber, UT until 1927 when she moved to Butte, MT to be with Susie and her family. Elizabeth died in 1930 and is buried with Ephraim, two baby boys and Alfred Abraham and Hannah Gibbs Jones in the Salt Lake City Cemetery. Ephraim and Eliz are not listed in the LDS Family Files because Ephraim is listed as dieing in 1861. I just learned of this after searching for five years. Susie died in 1955 when i was 7yrs. old and my Dad was killed in 1959 so any information I could have had is gone. If you have any information I would appreciate it. I did find that Coral Lewis Huish is one of the relatives. Thank you for your time and please let me know if you have any information. Norma King

Hi, I was just looking for information about turning in updated genealogy to the Salt Lake Geneology Library, hopefully, using the internet instead of sending in a disk. Or even where to send a disk and what I needed to do etc. I just happened upon your page and found it very interesting. You must have been working for a long time to have so much information. My mother did a lot of genealogy before she passed away but I didn't get very interested until just recently. I don't really know where to start or what to do except that I have downloaded the files from BYU library and updated them with any information I could add. Just not sure what to do with them now. Reading your page made me wish that I had gotten interested while she was alive so that we could have worked together. I enjoyed reading about your family. Lynda

Hello, My great-grandmother was Elizabeth Orgill, born 1855 in Newhall,Derbyshire, England. She married Alfred Henry Pike in 1878 at St James' Church Nottingham, and was buried in 1920 (?) in Repton churchyard. Her family consisted of her father Thomas, mother Jane (nee Staley), brothers Thomas George, James, and Frank, and sister Ellen Jane. Ellen Jane married Arthur Beighton in 1880. I have no trace of Alfred Henry Pike after 1879. The story was that he died at sea. I'd really like to know if it's true. There are a lot of Orgills out there. Does anyone know ? Shirley Lockwood

Adding to my earlier comments.I understand the family migrated from the Channel Islands on the Eve of the massacre of St Bathlomonew's Day before Henry of Navarre massacred the Protestants in France.I have seen a family concordance passed down from father to son for digging the fathers grave.In each generation the name was changed from d'orgueil until it became Orgill.This family dwelt at Meersham.

Joe: I just love your Site - I have Orgills back in Newhall, Derbys. - my main name is Parker, but they seemed to marry Orgills from time to time. Haven't traced any direct Orgills, but am working on it. I've noticed that from 1660 onwards, there are Parker/Orgill/Peace/Heap/Orme families marrying one another -- and I think the Parker families were the most commonly named amongst them. Am having a lot of trouble connecting and sorting them. Most of the Parker entries on the IGI are Patron Submissions, so I'm surmising that some of them became LDS members at some time or other. I did send for some copy entries and contacted the person who had entered them, but had no reply. I wonder if anything would be "on file" in SLC?? Again - am most appreciative of your site and look forward to future visits.... Cheers from the Antipodes.... Valerie K.

I am interested in hearing from anyony relating to the orgill name. My great grandfather was robert orgill, born 1830 in LEICESTER, died 1905 in Dandenong, Victoria, Australia. I have no idea who his parents were. He had 4 brothers, Thomas Orgill, Matthew Orgill, and Henry Orgill, who went to the USA. Robert Orgill had seven children, Matthew William, (my grandfather), twins graceshe viola and zeporah elizabeth, leonard clarence, herbert edward, victoria alexandria and sydnah australia. I have quite a bit of information on the four boys who came to australia, as far as who married who, and what children they had. If any of this information is of value to someone please contact me. I would like to get information on the Matthew William Orgill who went to the states. I think he was into carpentry.

I was born in Devon in England and brought up in Cormwall. I now live in Essex but my dad still lives in Devon where he was bought up by Harold Victor Orgill (married to Pearl), who are sadly missed as they passed away in 1996. My dad is particularly interested in his family tree and I will be passing the info on re these superb pages! He has recently been to an Orgill reunion in Prayze n Beeble, Cornwall, so he may well have some more info for everyone out there! Thanks for the opportunity to get to know so many Orgills!

Here I am the ARGYLE rose amongst the ORGILL thorns. I'm really interested with the latest correspondence re the origins of the Orgill name. For what it's worth, the OGLE name is well documenmted in Black's Surnames of Scotland, at it wouldn't take much for it to be pronounced Orgill in the Derbs. and Staffs. dialect as opposed to the more civilised tones of the Leics. one. Further to what Sam Orgill sugests, there's the Scots name Ogilvy (ie) to consider. Incidently my family name was spelt as ARGUILE in 1706 and one family researcher claims this as derived from Orgueil, old French for pride, All the Best, Vic

Joe, my Name is Richard Orgill and my wife is Barbara and we live in Manteca, Ca . I grew up in Mona which is north of Nephi maybe a more familiar name and I work at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. I do not have E-mail at Home yet until I retire in March or June, have not made up my mind which month yet.
I have a lot of data on the Orgill's because genealogy has been done on our family. If you can send me you address or fax # I can tell you more about the Orgill's I know.
There are Orgill's In Rexburg Idaho, There is a store in San Francisco that has the name of Richard Orgell's Gift Shop.
There is a Monte Orgill that works for one of the Radio Station in San Francisco..I know my ancestors came from NewShire England and also when they came over there were two brothers one spelled his Name Orgill and the other Aryle after the brand name of socks.
We go through Salt Lake Every year because I have family still in Mona. I have one cousin named Rex Orgill in Mona and a cousin in Wisconsin named Clifford.
I just gave you a quick run down on me, but hope when can communicate more with each other. I always look forward to meeting new Orgill's even though we may not be closely related.
My Sisters one Married a Young which is a decident of Brigham Youn and my other sister Married a Newton which their is a lot and also Kays. Hope to here back from you some time.
I was excited to find out all the information you are getting and just wanted to let you know, also we have French Canadian on our side and some Indian. I will have to get my genealogy out and get the information to you.

Hi Joe.
Interesting to finally see all these Orgills; up until last year, I had only run into one other Orgill who wasn't directly related to me. But I think it may be mostly because my father (James Edward Orgill) left Utah pretty early on, after his mother died and father remarried and then died a few years later. I don't know much about his side of the family at all...so your mail was a nice surprise. People always ask me what nationality my name is, and I've read a few references to "orgille" meaning "pride" in French. So I was particularly interested in that, although it seems mostly British? At any rate, thanks for the mail, and a few more clues. I don't have much information to share, but would be interested in anything that seems relevant.

Michelle <hopey86@rocketmail.com>

Dear Joe,
Thank you for your note regarding our clan. Here my 4 year old boy Andrew will only allow me a few minuites to confirm that my family in Canada (including alex@sidefx.com) has all of our direct relatives still living in the Derbyshire area. My father, Douglas Orgill married to Margaret emigrated to Vancouver, B.C. in 1954 with myself and sister Susanne. My brother Alex was born in Vancouver in 1961. We had a move to Edmonton, Alberta and then a move to Toronto where my brother still lives while my sister and myself reside in a quaint university town near Toronto called Guelph.
I shall write again soon with some stories I know of the Orgills. Some on your e-mail list I know of.
Thank you for getting in touch.

Dear Joe,
Enjoyed very much your Genealogy Home Page.
My name is Lynn W. Johnson and I am also a descendent of Joseph Orgill and Sarah Whetton.
My Great Grandmother was Mary Ann Orgill (b. 1877). Her parents were Mark Orgill (b. 1851) and Rachael Isabell Smith (b. 1859). Mark's parents were Thomas Edward Orgill (b.1821) and Ann Cartwright. Thomas' parents were Joseph Orgill and Sarah Whetton.
I had several Orgill obituaries clipped out of the Deseret News (one was your mother) that your page helped me tie into Orgill genealogy on my computer.
I have a typed copy of the Diary of Joseph Orgill (b. 1814). You probably already have it, but it not, I'll be happy to get you a copy of it. It lists lots of names and dates and also Patriarchal blessings. My copy was typed by my cousin Karen S. Williams.

Berry was in the Orgill E-mails from around
the world mail you sent. There are a heap of addresses after his reply
to. So cosequently it's a bit of a puzzle to yours truly. It's good to
be in touch again. Michael Berry was the guy who wrote to say his
father worked for Orgill Brothers in Memphis.

Dear Joe,
Thanks for your reply to my email; yes, you can add my email address to your page if you want. I don't know much about the branch of the Orgill family which I belong to, but the following might be of interest to someone ... I am Sheila Orgill, born Sheila Watson in Lincoln in 1958. I am married to Ian Orgill who was born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 1962. Ian and I married in 1991 and we have a daughter, Jennifer, born in Birmingham in 1992.
Ian's father was Harry Orgill who was born in the Birmingham area and had a daughter Rita before moving to Newcastle-upon-Tyne and marrying Ian's mother, Winnie Davison. Ian has 4 brothers and a sister who still live in the North-East : Bill Davison born 1955, Colleen Davison born 1956, John Davison born 1959, Chris Orgill born 1962 and Maurice Orgill born 1964. I would be interested in hearing from anyone who thinks they know of our family.

Hi there, sorry for the long time before this response, but the computer's been in the shop.
My Dad's just making some notes on our family history, and then I'll throw that up on my page. I saw your list of Orgills to date-I never would have thought there were that many in the world, much less a couple of states! I don't have IRC as yet.
Anyway, I took our name history off the wall, thought you might be interested. It comes from the Historical Research Center:
The English surname Orgill is of toponymic origin being derived from the place where the original bearer lived or held land. In this instance,the surname is derived from the place name Mount Orgueil, a well known fortress on the Isle of Jersey. Thus the surname Orgill signifies "one from Mount Orgueil." The place name Mount Orgueil is derived from the Old Frence "orgueil" meaning "pride" and translates to "Pride Mountain." Alternatively, the surname Orgill is of nickname origin, being derived from a personal attribute of the original bearer. In this case, the surname is again from the Old Frence "orgueil" meaning "pride" and referred to the "proud one." Finally the surname Orgill is of occupational origin. Occupational surnames derive their origin from the work, trade, or profession of the initial bearer. Here the surname Orgill is derived from the Germanic word "orgel" meaning "organ", and referred to an organ player or a maker of organs. Variants of the surname Orgill include Orgel, Orgles, Organ, and Organer.
References to the surname Orgill or to its variants are found in English documents that date back to the twelfth century. Edmun Liorgil (le orgil) was mentioned in the "Early Charters of the Cathedral of St. Paul, London" (1198-1211). Walter Orgouyl was recorded in the "Ministers' Accounts for the Earldom of Cornwall" in 1297. Adam le Organystre of Suffolk wasrecorded in the "Pinchbeck Register" in 1327. Gerard Orgul was registered in London in 1305 in the "Calendar of Early Mayors' Court Rolls". William Organall of Suffolk was bound for America in 1736. The Orgill family of Beccles, Co. Suffolk was ennobled and was granted the following coat-of-arms.
Blazon of Arms: Argent, a fess between three crescents, each surmounted by a fleur-de-lis gules.
Crest: A buffalo's head sable, gorged with a wreath of roses proper.
Origin: England.
All the best,

Joe, Thanks for your interest in our site. I have checked the UK phone book which I happen to have on a CD-ROM. There are over 200 Orgill's in the UK. There are precisely 28 J. Orgill's listed. Most of these come from the Derby region, though no one is listed in Lichfield.
Two of the J Orgill's that might interest you are at
22 Holloway Road, Alvaston, Derby (011) 44 1332 573538 87 Chain Lane, Littleover, Derby (011) 44 1332 514351
You might try contacted either of these, BTW I took a look at your home page and note you are a member of LDS. Usually I would turn down the request you made but having visited Salt Lake I know what a beautiful city it is (so clean) and also how important tracing ancestry is to you.
It would be my pleasure if you would mention our WEB site, particularly our hotel guide in your links page...
