I suspect the original name was Levis.There was no uniform spelling in those days.My Dukelow (Duclos) relatives also ended up as Ducklows.Lavis is of English origin, Levis is of French Huguenot origin.There were many Levis families in County Cork.Yours is the first Lavis I have seen, other than the error in our old genealogy that turned Levis into Lavis.I know it definitely is Levis in our family, because I have the marriage record from Rochester St. Luke Episcopal church.Suggest you check out the Levis families.
