Have you used the Search Trees box above to see if other people on here have your Lawdays in their trees?
If so, you can then contact them.

Hello,
I’m trying to trace my family ancestry for Lawday. Most of my Lawday ancestors come from the East End of London. I have traced back as far as 1830 to Henry Lawday. I have done a lot of work on my family tree and have most of the families now from the last generation to the last one on there which is the 1830 one. There are a lot of Henrys in the family who were all Carpenters/French Polishers! Most of the families were very large. I am told that the family originated from France... I want to learn more and am very interested in hearing from anyone who is a Lawday or has a Lawday in their family tree - hopefully we can work together somehow to it out!

Thank you, Sharon :-)
