Europe / Re: LARCHER - French Huguenot
« on: Monday 06 March 06 16:58 GMT (UK) »
There was more than one Larcher family, some references are pre 1700. I think your Elizabeth is either daughter of Andrew & Rebecca Judith Larcher, ba 4.5.1808 Shoreditch St Leonards or possibly daughter of Andrew & Sarah ba 25.7.1802 Christchurch Spitalfields. I don't think this is a 2nd marriage as there is a child for each couple ba in 1806 but it's not certain.
My 4 x g. grandfather is Peter Larcher who first appears as a schoolmaster in Saffon Walden in 1784. He moved to Littlebury and then to Great Baddow Essex where he was head of the endowed school teaching maths, French, latin, english, geography, navigation and surveying. School also had a french dancing master. I have been unable to trace Peter's origins for over 15 years. The only Peter Larcher mentioned on the IGI is the wrong one as he became a sailor- see death duty registers.
I do have more info on Larchers - I make a note of whatever I find on the name. If you can help me on my line that would make my year!
