Hi Jenny - I am also very interested in the Lyus family background, is there any chance your Dad would be able to email me anything about our history and the origins of our name?
FYI - my Grandad was William Lyus and my Dad is Stephen Lyus, I don't know a great deal more than that off the top of my head, but my grandad was one of several brothers from the East London area.
Many thanks - Chris. (
