 The Morrells - Origin of the Morrells
This branch of the Morrell family traces its origins back to John Arthur (1755-1813), son of Francis Arthur, who assumed the name of Morrell probably some point before or during his career in the Royal Navy.
The origin of the name of 'Arthur' probably goes back to the legend of Arthur Pendragon (King Arthur) or could even have been a forename of another ancestor, at one point in the family history, and passed down as a surname.
The name Wellesley was the surname of the first Duke of Wellington, Arthur Wellesley.
