it seems likely that the DELLOW name first appeared in England in about 1500 around the village of Great Hormead in Hertfordshire. At that time it was normally spelt in the Parish records as Dellow or Dellowe. From there the name spread throughout Hertfordshire as well as into Essex and Cambridgeshire transforming into Deller in western parts of Hertfordshire and Dellar in Cambridgeshire. Smaller populations settled in Berkshire and Bedfordshire before a major migration into London took place in the 19th century by which time people were much more commonly able to write, and the names became fixed.
