Phillipe LARCHIER a hat maker married Marie BROSSARD daughter of Louis Brossard and Janne BRIGAND on 17 Apr 1703.

From England NC registers.

I can't see marriages for the others, although one of the childrens of Andrew and Rebecca, their baptism does say Rebecca Judith is the daughter of John Martley.

Estats de la distribution de la Beneficence de 1707 et de la Beneficence 1708, accorde*e par la Reine aux pauvres Protestants Francois refugiez en Angleterre
Comite* Franc**ois (London) 1709

Larcher (Jaques) & Franc**oise sa femme

(Apologies for absence of accent* or cedilla**)

The 1725 publication lists only Franc**oise Larcher

The 1728 publication lists "Judith Larcher & 2 enfants and Jaques Larcher pour Apprentissage

Appreciate they may not be your Larchers but every sighting the further back we go can contribute.

Can I just sound really daft here and ask what England NC Register is and what OPT means?

Thanks again.

Hi

England Non Conformist registers.

OTP means 'of the parish'

where the Larchers have been discussed.

Rootschatter richarde1979 posted an image of the register showing the birth of Philippe Larcher 15 May 1676, son of Jacques Larcher and Judith Groust.

The difficulty has been tracking the Larchers through the 1700s when some records were lost. (particularly with the number of Andrew Jacques and John Larchers who crop up.  The general consensus in 2013 seemed to be that a probable line could be established for the Larchers, but that this could not be proved for certain due to lost records.

richarde1979 did amazing work piecing together surviving church records and linking them to records from the French Hospital, but I still have only a provisional tree supported by fragments of hard evidence.

I have been looking for Rebecca (Judith) (MARTLEY?) on church registers and transcripts on various freesites - but no success yet.

All the best
Philip

Andrew Larcher definitely had several children with Rebecca.  Their marriage is still proving elusive, as is her birth.  But I have come up with a new idea.  Rebecca's surname has been transcribed as MARTLEY, but on the certificate of Thomas Mark Larcher's birth I believe it looks more like HARTLY.  (The shape of the letter M in the document is different).

To avoid duplication, there are other Larcher threads for this line:

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=687877.msg6183906#msg6183906
concentrating on finding birth and marriage for Rebecca Judith Martley(Hartley?)

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=91844.msg4804466#msg4804466
concentrating on the Larcher line back to Poitou (thread started in 2007 with lots of information)
