Talk:Joyes

It’s a surname too

My English-Canadian ancestry line (via my maternal grandfather) came from North Bay- Parry Sound in Ontario and they and the Prince, White, Alday, and Dennett families migrated there out of a lot of Horsham to Brighton, West Sussex, UK families that settled initially in Hyde Park Toronto neighbourhood. The Joyes family still lives in North Bay and my third cousin told me it is pronounced as "joizze" if you will. They were gentry level families with some landed households with them that came to Canada. The Joyes family had via the Dennetts a link to the lower aristocracy in shared ancestors that nonetheless were at least two generations prior to the emigration era in the 1860-1880 period.
