I concur with Alan, I have come across it many times in my Essex research. We also had neighbours of that name where I grew up in Hampshire. Jennifer |

That's an Essex name spelt with a few variations. Blois, Bloise, Bloce, Bloyce & Bloyse are the ones that I have come across. They are linked to my Family tree. Alan |
