I'm trying to establish contact with people researching the Lawday (Lawdey, Lawdy, Lowday and variants )surname. Several years ago I was in contact with a group of people researching this family which originally came from the Barnstaple and KingsNympton area. After several changes of email addresses I have lost touch with these researchers and am wondering if there is anyone out there who has done or is doing research on this family. I am still trying to connect my line descending from James Lawday, a tailor in Somerstown, London, in the early 1800's to the Devonshire Lawdays as my grt grandmother said that was where they originally came from. Any help greatly appreciated
