Robert, - Searching via this site, using wildcards in the name [Le*li*, or Le*l*, *Le*li* etc], will give you results as (de) Lelie, Leli, Leelij, Leelie, Delelis etc. Vanderleelie could well have been Van de(r)Leelie or De Leli etc. before? In the DTB books you will find results prior to 1811. Some pre-1811 overlapping info also via the BS-options as well. For Noord-Brabant there are a few other sites where you could search. Not all sites allows you to use wildcards though; you have to be a bit 'resourceful' then and search with different spelling. See for more info: http://www.bhic.nl/index.php?id=211&id_rubriek=1

Thank you for the helpful information. The slight change in spelling makes a big difference in the search results.

The name "van der Lelie" occurs around 1675 in Ravels (Belgium), see site "Ragebol" and after that time amongst others in Tilburg, see site of Regional Archive Tilburg
