Hi am looking into the Boyces who seem to have lived in the Croydon area of Surrey for several generations. Does anyone else share this interest?

I'm looking for any information on any potential Jewish link with the Wynn or Laflin families (ascendants of Beatrice Boyce nee Wynn).

Many thanks indeed. :-)

You don't give any dates.

Is this the marriage of Boyce to Beatrice Wynn you refer to -

Not seeing any direct marriage of Boyce / Laflin or Wynn / Laflin

Laflin seems to be a predominantly Suffolk surname although there is a sprinkling of the name elsewhere.

A couple of births back in the 1850's (one named Israel) with mmn Thorp and again 1880's - mmn Young and 90's mmn Francis and a few Croydon/Surrey 1960's onwards (find mmn yourself using freebmd).

Where do you think the Laflin's might fit in?
