Very interesting - will reflect on this when I have time and get back.

Forgot to add in last email - on issue of date of James birth, Spiller - located the 1741 request for marraige licence with Lydia - which gave James age as 25 on 31.12.1741 - so working on James birth must be 1715/1716.

Be in touch again soon

Hi again,

Good to hear from you - I have only recently picked this up again myself, so your renewed interest is timely.  But I am afraid I dont have great deal to add at this stage in terms of evidence, and to-date have been greatly helped by others (Spiller particularly to thank).  For now I offer a few observations:
1. I think the fact there was also a belief in our line that there was a Huguenot connection is possibly significant, but evidence is only circumstantial.  I have also been reninded this week that there was also a seperate story in our line of "three brothers" who came over (no context though!).
2. Focusing on the knowns - I think it is significant Lydia was baptised in Nonconfomist chapel and James Daltrey (b.1747), wife, and many decendants were buried in Nonconformist burialgrounds.
I think that is significant for a number of reasons - including one possibility to be considered - that James elder was a Baptist - as if so there would potentially be no infant baptism - in most cases though (as I understand) there would be a birth record - But note - Protestant Dissenters' Registry of Births from Dr Williams Library only started in 1716 - so may have just missed James.  Just a speculative thought.

Keen to continue.

Michael

Hi Wood-dweller

Have you got round that brick wall?

I would be very interested to know if you gained information beyond James Daltrey (1700-1755) - presumably you are aware of the tree on Wikitree [ http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Daltrey-38 ] ?

I too am a decendent of James Daltrey, or so I believe. 

My mother who died in 2007 had done a lot of research but as far as I am aware she never concluded if we were descended from Huguenot refugees in the C17th

or from Daltreys who came over in 1066

Any further thoughts on the Huguenot connection?

Kind regards

Michael
