It seems possible and in many cases probable that many
of the Rawles, Rawls, Rolls and Ralls lines are all related if one goes back
far enough, I have seen some evidence of the interchangeable spellings in my
own line. This Ralls family came from Lulworth, the village just south of
Winfrith (where my own line originated) and is included here to seek further
information. I am in touch with the descendants of this family and we would be
pleased to hear from any other researchers regarding this line. (this
information mostly from early census listings & parish records)
