Hi John , I see that you submitted the wills of William Lewney , 1860 , and his father William Lewney 1817. So I suspect that you may be connected. Penny in Canada is related and I in Sydney , Australia have been helping her with her research . Her family is

John Cowley and Jane Lewney .

Jane was the first of 13 children to William Lewney and Elizabeth Crane/Crain(e) , in Laxey, Lonan.

It has been difficult going back any further .

We are hoping you may be able to help.

Thanks

David Dwyer
