Hello Sophie, Thanks for replying to my query; I am interested in the name Bloy as my father and his brothers seemed to be the only Bloys in Scotland; I discovered there are many Bloys in England,mostly in Norfolk and understand many spell their name Blois indicating they came over from Blois in France with the Hugeunots to escape persecution for their religious beliefs. I have traced back six generations in direct line and would welcome more news and information. Thank you again. Ida M. Jacob(nee Bloy)
