About the Stoodley surname

The family are apparently founded by an ancestor of Adrik de Stoodlege (Stoodleigh), possibly a Norman Knight, granted land in England. An ancestral Manor existed at Stoodleigh, Devon, when a large impressive Court now stands.

Variations from Stoodleigh include Stoodley, Studley, Studly and Stoodly.
