Any NORTHWAY person, worldwide

My mother was born June Northway 1945 in Adelaide Australia to Ernest John Northway.
We have traced the family back to their arrival in Australia (Richard Northway in 1849) from Ilsington Devon, where the family is traceable back to the mid 1500's.
You may be interested to know that on a recent visit to Devon we traced the origin
of the surname to a farm named Northway just
outside Widdecombe-on-the-Moor only a few miles from Ilsington where the vast majority of Northways are recorded.
The farm is still there (dates back to the 1200's) and is currently under the care of a British Heritage group.
Hope this proves to be of interest.
