Did you ever receive a reply ?
I am researching the West country Joyces. Their name changed from Joce to Joyce in the late 19th Century but it looks as though some of them moved from the Barnstaple (Landkey) area to London during a local mass migration between 1850 - 1900.
If you think I could be of any help or indeed if you have anything for me I'd be happy to help and grateful for any info.............the Joyce clan are a small but intriguing family.
