Classification: Query
Surnames: Le Joynour, Joyner, Joiner
I just discovered this board. I'm hoping someone can help me.
My ancestor Alan Le Joynour was said to be the chief carpenter of William the Conquorer when he marched into England in 1066.
I have not found any proof of this with the exception of one book at my local Library here in Georgia on the present day Joyner/Joiner family. My grandmother is a Joiner and some in the Joiner family including myself believe the family came from Alan Le Joynour.
The Le Joynour name changed to Joyner after the move to England and I have documented proof of the family from 1595 England onward. We have spelled the Joiner name with an i in the US since the 1800s.
The Joyners settled in Bere Regis, Dorset, England in the southern part of the country. I place they are said to have lived since the Norman invasion.
