My late father and I have for many years been doing a one name study of the LYWOOD family. All the Lywoods who were known to be living in the 1880s have been traced back to three villages in Hampshire and Wiltshire, England in the late 1500s.
I am still trying to find other connections and fill gaps in the British trees.
I am also looking for any connections with Lywoods living in USA. In particular:
John Lywood aged 14, who originated in Ireland and travelled to New York, in 1856.
John de Laywood Lywood, born 1864, who is supposed to have emigrated from England to America sometime after 1881.
I would be grateful for any LYWOOD information and be pleased to try to make connections with my existing trees.
