Interesting ...
I wonder if Edmund Hull could be a child of the two parties in this 1615 marriage license: Mr. William Tull, son of George Hull of "Tol Piddle," and Catherine Ludlow, daughter of Sir Edmund Ludlow of Maiden Bradley?

Thank you to Leslie for earlier today bringing my attention to this post, and his excellent research into the families of Arnold of Ilsington Manor, Hull of Tolpiddle, and Fulford of Great Fulford House, which confirms two Edward III descents for Sir
Laurence Olivier.

Edmund Hull of Tolpuddle married 2 February 1640/1 St Mary Church, Winterborne Whitechurch, Dorset, Margaret Fulford (bap. 22 July 1618 St Mary Church, Winterborne Whitechurch), yst dau of Sir Francis Fulford of Great Fulford House (1583-1664, descended
from Edward III) & Elizabeth Samways (b. 1585).

I think John Brandon's suggestion that Edmund Hull of Tolpiddle (c.1620-1661), husband of Margaret Fulford, was the son of the William Hull (b. c.1593) and Catherine Ludlow (b. c.1597) who married (licence 23 October) 1615, is spot on.

On 20 April 1638, "Edmund Hull, son and heir of William H., Esq., of Tolepuddle, Dorset" was admitted to Gray's Inn:
https://archive.org/details/registerofadmiss00gray/page/217/mode/2up?q=Hull

Previously on 20 May 1636, "Edmond Hull, s. of William, of Tolpuddle, Dorset, arm." matriculated at Trinity College Oxford "aged 16". On 10 November 1637, his brother, "George Hull, s. of William, of Tolpuddle, Dorset, arm." matriculated at Magdalen
College Oxford, "aged 15": https://www.british-history.ac.uk/alumni-oxon/1500-1714/pp748-784

It works well chronologically for **Edmund** Hull (born c.1620) and his younger brother **George** Hull (b. c.1622) to have been the sons of the William Hull, son of "Mr. **George** Hull, of Tol Piddle, Dorset" and the Catherine Ludlow, dau of "Sir **
Edmund** Ludlow, of Maidenbradley, Wilts" who were married in 1615. Each brother being named for a grandfather.

Sir Edmund Ludlow (by 1548-1624) has an entry in HOP. He is descended from Edward I thru his mother Edith (Windsor) Ludlow:
https://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1604-1629/member/ludlow-sir-edmund-1542-1624

Sir Edmund's son-in-law, William Hull of Tolpiddle (b. c.1593), was the nephew of the famous explorer Sir Walter Raleigh (1554-1618).

John Hutchins, in his 'History and Antiquities of the County of Dorset' (1774) wrote (p. 497, sub Tolpiddle), "In Mr. Coker's time, it [Tolpiddle] belonged to one of the family of Hull, who removed here from Larkbere, in Devonshire, where his ancestors
had long continued. In the Visitation Book of Devonshire, about 1560, there are four descents of this family given, before they had any concern here. George Hull, esq. of the board of green cloth, purchased this manor and demesnes of ..... Jacob":
https://archive.org/details/b30456496_0001/page/497/mode/2up

Lt-Col. John Vivian has a pedigree for 'Hull of Larkbeare' in his 'The Visitations of the County of Devon' (p. 492), in which "George Hull, 2 son [of Matthew Hull of Larkbeare House in Exeter (b. c.1524) & Joan Yarde], sold Larkbeare to Sir Nicholas
Smith = Margaret, da. Walter Raleigh of Fardel and widow of Lawrence Radford. A quo Hull of Dorsetshire, now extinct":
https://books.google.com/books?id=GmqlIibS95IC&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false

Lawrence Radford of Mount Radford, the first husband of Margaret Raleigh, died in 1590. William Hull, son of George Hull of Tolpiddle (and formerly of Larkbeare), was age "22" in his marriage licence of October 1615. He was likely the "William Hull of
Dorset, arm." who matriculated at Oriel College Oxford 7 December 1610 "aged 16". So born about 1593/4, which fits very well for his mother to have been Margaret (Raleigh) (Radford) Hull, dau of Walter Raleigh of Fardel (1505-1581, descended from Edward
I) & Katherine Champernowne (c.1514-1594, descended from Edward I).

In addition to being descended from Edward III, it seems that Sir Laurence Olivier was the 9x-great-nephew of Sir Walter Raleigh.

It's good to see Sir Laurence Olivier's royal line's been checked and confirmed.

I researched and added his royal line's to Geni back in 2015. Between 2017 and 2019, I also connected up his royal lines on Wikitree with documentation.

It was an expansion of the excellent research of Ronald Ames Hill. We share Hill ancestors. Ronald is a Fellow of the National Genealogical Society.
https://fasg.org/fellows/current-fellows/ronald-ames-hill/

He researched his line from the Fulford's and traced collateral line's down several generations in his book The tumultuous Achym/Fulford relationship: with abstracts of Chancery Court proceedings, and transcripts of Chancery decrees and orders, published
in 2003. It's available for free at FamilySearch.

Correction. It was this book where Ronald Ames Hill traces his descent from the Fulford's:

The Ancestors and Descendants of Christopher Hill, Rector of Michaelstow, The Hill migration: Surrey, London, Cornwall, Ontario, and Michigan, 1540–1900 (Chaghill Publications, Star, Idaho, 2006).

The two books together give many Edward III descents.

*I couldn't locate a baptism entry online for Henry Stephen Olivier (Generation 15 above). He was born in Clifton, Bedfordshire, and the parish registers there do not seem to have been digitized yet.
**Sir Laurence Olivier's life peerage fell between the 1970 105th Edition and 1999 106th Edition of Burke's Peerage. But there is an article on Olivier in the 1940 98th Edition of Burke's Peerage, courtesy of Sir Laurence's uncle, Sydney Olivier (1859-
1943), created Baron Olivier in 1924. I've added it to my list of articles to copy next time I'm at the library.

Olivier Guionneau contacted me off list, and it seems that the Roglo database has an incorrect mother for Rev. Gerard Olivier (see Generations 16 & 17 above): Emma Selina Eden.
http://roglo.eu/roglo?lang=en;i=7596990

This error may have originated from the following descent provided by the Thomas Arundell Society:
http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~thomasarundell/genealogy/Laurence.Olivier.html

Emma Selina Eden (c.1835-1908, descended from Charles II), was the wife, not of Rev. Henry Arnold Olivier, but rather of his younger brother, Rev. Dacres Olivier (1831-1919).

Sir Laurence Olivier was not descended from either Charles II or Thomas, 1st Lord Arundell of Wardour, count of the Holy Roman Empire.

There is another Edward III line for Sir Laurence Olivier via Ursula Bamfield the wife of Thomas Fulford esq. It goes back through Eleanor Holand the illegitimate daughter of Constance of York.

Edward III
Edmund of Langley
Constance of York
Eleanor Holand
Sir Humphrey Audley
Elizabeth Audley
Sir John Sydenham
Elizabeth Sydenham
Ursula Bamfield (Bampfield)

There are at least three Edward I lines for Ursula Bamfield too.

Here are some interesting connections between the Olivier and Furse families.

Edith Olivier (daughter of Henry Stephen Olivier) was an English writer, also noted for acting as hostess to a circle of well-known writers, artists, and composers in her native Wiltshire. There is a painting of her by Rex Whistler.

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edith_Olivier

In 1937 Edith Olivier had invited Jill [Furse] for a visit to introduce her to Laurence Whistler, the younger brother of Rex. It was a little time before Jill decided definitely in Laurence’s favour, but they eventually fell deeply in love. Laurence
was making little money from his writing and engraving but Jill was quite prepared for them to live on her earnings as an actress. In September 1939, with most London theatres closed at the outbreak of war, they obtained a special license and married
quietly at Salisbury Cathedral with only a handful of guests, including Edith Olivier, Siegfried Sassoon and Lord David Cecil. The reception afterwards was held at The Walton Canonry in the Close which Rex had leased for his parents. After a honeymoon in
Devon, they returned to the Close for Christmas, and stayed for three months.

Jill died in 1944, twelve days after the birth of her 2nd child. She was just 29 years old. Laurence married Theresa, Jill’s younger sister, in 1950.

Source: https://hersalisburystory.com/stories/jill-furse/

Jill and Theresa Furse are descendants of Edward III with four or more lines along with Roger Kemble Furse, Academy Award-winning art director and costume designer of stage and film.
Roger Furse was a frequent collaborator with Sir Laurence Olivier.

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_K._Furse

I will post the Edward III lines later if someone else doesn't beat me to it.

By my count there are 8 Edward I descents for Sir Laurence Olivier, two of which are Edward III descents. Sir Thomas Fulford and his wife Ursula Bampfylde account for the two Edward III descents, as indicated in Brad's line of descent above in this
thread. Sir Thomas and his wife Ursula have 7 of the 8 Edward I descents - 3 for Sir Thomas and 4 for Ursula. The remaining Edward descent is via Edmund Hull of Tolpuddle as noted above. Edmund Hull presently has no ancestry shown in the Genealogics
database, but the descents for his wife Margaret Fulford are likely all there (although I haven't checked).

Thank you for uncovering and sharing the baptism record, Charlene. I've adjusted Henry Stephen Olivier's birthdate: from '14 August 1796', to 'born 14 August 1795 Clifton, Bedfordshire, bap. 29 Sept. 1795 All Saints Church, Clifton'.

I've finished entering into my database the line of descent from Edward III for physicist and Fellow of the Society of American Genealogists, Ronald Ames Hill. His two books which Charlene has linked to -- 'The Tumultuous Achym/Fulford Relationship, with
Abstracts of Chancery Court Proceedings and Transcripts of Chancery Decrees and Orders' (Chaghill Publications, Star, Idaho, 2003), and 'The Ancestors and Descendants of Christopher Hill, Rector of Michaelstow, The Hill migration: Surrey, London,
Cornwall, Ontario, and Michigan, 1540–1900' (Chaghill Publications, Star, Idaho, 2006) -- are indeed a model family history. I really enjoyed re-tracing this line of descent. I finally visited the West Country of England a couple years ago, and loved
it. So the early generations of the descent, in Cornwall, were very interesting to me. I especially enjoyed learning about Dr. Hill's gateway ancestor James Hill, the youngest son of a Cornish farmer, who immigrated to Canada in 1851 at age 16, learned
to be a stonemason in Montreal, then immigrated with his brother to Grand Rapids, Michigan, where they were hired by an established farmer and stonemason in Alpine Township in Michigan, who himself had immigrated from England. James Hill married the
farmer's daughter, became a successful farmer himself, and a US citizen in 1889.

Dr. Hill shares the first eight generations of his Edward III descent with Sir Laurence Olivier:

Edward III had a yst son:
1) Thomas of Woodstock, 1st Duke of Gloucester (1355-1397), who had
2) Anne, 3rd Countess of Buckingham (1383-1438), who had
3) William Bourchier, 9th Lord FitzWarin (c.1409-1469), who had
4) Fulk Bourchier, 10th Lord FitzWarin (1445-1479), who had
5) John Bourchier, 1st Earl of Bath (1470-1539), who had
6) Lady Dorothy Bourchier m. Sir John Fulford of Great Fulford House (c.1502-1544), and had
7) Sir John Fulford of Great Fulford House (1524-1580) m. 1) Anne Denys, and had
8) Sir Thomas Fulford of Great Fulford House (1553-1610) m. Ursula Bampfylde (d. 1639, descended from Edward III), and had a son A9 and a dau B9 (see below)

A9) Sir Francis Fulford of Great Fulford House (1583-1664) m. Elizabeth Samways, and had
A10) Ursula Fulford (1603-1635) m. her first cousin Thomas Achym of Pelynt (see B10 below), and had
A11) Mary Achym (by 1635-1700) m. Benjamin Penkevell of Tregeare (c.1628-1693), and had
A12) Ursula Penkevell (1663-1724) m. Thomas Hill of Michaelstow (1659-1714), and had
A13) Thomas Hill of Michaelstow (1688-1752) m. Elizabeth Mullis (1684-1744), and had
A14) Thomas Hill of St Kew (1714-1766) m. Mary Pinch (1718-1769), and had
A15) William Hill of Lower Brighter (1760-1827) m. Elizabeth Bray (1758-1849), and had
A16) John Hill of Trequite (1798-1874) m. Mary Pearce (1794-1873), and had
A17) James Hill of Alpine Township, MI (1835-1920) m. Mary Ann Snowden (1839-1920), and had
A18) Rowland Snowden Hill of Alpine Township (1864-1932) m. Carrie Maud Denison (1871-1953), and had
A19) Rowland Lester Hill of Caro, MI (1902-1991) m. Leona May Ames (1904-1977), and had
A20) Ronald Ames Hill, FASG (b. 1934)

B9) Mary Fulford (c.1587-1623) m. 1) Thomas Achym of Pelynt (1570-1618), and had
B10) Thomas Achym of Pelynt (1610-1669) m. 1) his first cousin Ursula Fulford (see A10 above)

Full dates, documentation and detail can be found in Dr. Hill's books. It's a terrific example of how comprehensive genealogical research can provide a link to a Plantagenet past, far removed from the peerage. Generations A14 thru A16 above were farm
labourers within their Cornish parish, so this was not an evident line to trace back to Edward III. I can picture J. Horace Round giving his nod of approval.

Thanks & Cheers, ------Brad

Do you have the Furse family lines in your database Brad?

Charlene, I do not yet have the Furse or Monsell families in my database. Thank you for sharing the line of descent. It looks like the most recent articles on the Monsell family would be the one on the Viscounts Monsell in Burke's Peerage 1970 edition,
and the article on De La Poer Monsell in Burke's Irish Family Records (1976). I've added those articles to my copy list the next time I'm at the library.

I have the first three generations of the descent - Sir Drury Wray, 9th Baronet, down to Jane Twigge and Rev. Stackpole Pery - in my database. I have their son the 1st Baron Glentworth of Mallow, but have not entered any further children for the couple.
So I don't yet have their daughter Dymphna (Pery) Monsell, or her descendants.

I have the Edward III descents for Sir Drury Wray, and the Edward I descents for his wife Anne (Casey), Lady Wray.

I also have John Thomas Waller and Elizabeth Maunsell in my database, but only their daughter Katherine (Waller), Viscountess Guillamore, not (yet) their son Bolton Waller. I have the Edward III descents for Elizabeth Maunsell, and the Edward I descents
for John Thomas Waller.

If I can be of any help to you with those lines, please let me know.

Thanks & Cheers, ----Brad

Thanks for your kind offer, Brad.

Correction from an earlier post. I mentioned that Edith Olivier, the writer was the daughter of Henry Stephen Olivier. She was actually his granddaughter.

Brad:

I can provide you with copies of the following articles:

Furse of Halston, from vol. 1 (1965) of the 18th edition of BLG
De la Poer Monsell, from BIFR 1976
Viscount Monsell, from the 1949 edition of BP

I'll try to send you copies via email later this afternoon.

There are at least three Edward I lines for Ursula Bamfield too.

By my count there are 8 Edward I descents for Sir Laurence Olivier, two of which are Edward III descents. Sir Thomas Fulford and his wife Ursula Bampfylde account for the two Edward III descents, as indicated in Brad's line of descent above in this

thread. Sir Thomas and his wife Ursula have 7 of the 8 Edward I descents - 3 for Sir Thomas and 4 for Ursula. The remaining Edward descent is via Edmund Hull of Tolpuddle as noted above. Edmund Hull presently has no ancestry shown in the Genealogics
database, but the descents for his wife Margaret Fulford are likely all there (although I haven't checked).

A correction to the above numbers:

There are 12, not 8, Edward I descents for Sir Laurence Olivier. I had overlooked the connection mentioned earlier by Brad Verity whereby William Hull of Tolpuddle (m. Catherine Ludlow; father of Edmund who married Margaret Fulford) was apparently a
nephew of Sir Walter Raleigh. William's mother Margaret Raleigh (sister of Sir Walter) brings 4 more Edward I descents for Sir Laurence Olivier.

Thank you. I had missed those.

Laurence Olivier and Roger Kemble Furse are 9th cousins once removed. Both are descendants of Elizabeth Sydenham and Richard Bamfield (Bampfield). Roger Kemble Furse's line is via the Cory and Johnson families. Adding more royal lines for him.

Olivier, the Edward I line you're missing is via Richard Bampfylde/Bamfield (father of Ursula) for whom the Roglo database currently has no ancestry. His ancestry is in the Genealogics database starting here:
https://www.genealogics.org/pedigree.php?personID=I00685021&tree=LEO&parentset=0&display=standard&generations=6
Follow the line back through Bampfylde, St. Maur, Brooke, Braybroke, de la Pole, Cobham, Courtenay, and Bohun to Edward I.
