WILLIAM DE WELLE, son and heir, served on the expedition to Ireland in 1210. In 
March 1215/6 he paid 20 mark fine to buy the King's favour; but in May 1217 his 
lands were granted to Fulk d'Oyri. He was again accepted as loyal in the autumn of 
1217 and aided the Crown against William de Forz, Count of Aumale, in 1221. 
Between 1220 and 1232 he was active in judicial work for the King; and in January 
1229/30 he was ordered to aid the sheriff of Lincolnshire in arresting ships to be sent 
to Portsmouth for the King's use. He was a collector of 1/40 in 1232 and of 1/30 in 
1237; and was appointed, January 1240/1, to view the royal castles in Lincolnshire. 
He married, in or before 1207, Emma, daughter and heir of William DE GRAINSBY, 
who was living, 30 September 1226. He died 1241-42. [Complete Peerage XII/2:437-8,

The first of this family mentioned by Sir William Dugdale is Adam de Welles, who, in 
the 6th of Richard I [1195] paid 10 marks for adhering to John, Earl of Moreton, who 
at that time assumed more authority, during his brother's captivity, than he was 
afterwards able to justify. After this Adam came William de Welles, who, in the 9th of 
John [1208], gave 50 marks for one knight's fee in Grimsby, co. Lincoln, and was s. by 
another William de Welles. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited and 
Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London, England, 1883, p. 572, Welles,
