There are very few Lye's here in Australia.
most are in America. However I do know that the Lye's who came to australia were free settlers and came from Scotland. The Lye's in my family were a pretty wild bunch, lived in the bush in NSW and didn't register anything. My grandfather had at least 3 wives but I think only the first was legal.(May)she died leaving 3 little children to be fostered out.My father Harry joseph Lye, his older brother William and sister Maizie.
