Hmmm My ancestor is Peter LePla and many on ancestry seem to think his parents were Pierre and Mary however Peter was born abt 1656. Perhaps he is a brother of Pierre’s.

Hi mckha489 I have difficulties reading old writing but am I correct to think that Jacobs father named as Pierre? Interesting that one child baptised in Canterbury but the rest in Threadneedle Street if so…

Where have you found the entry for Guillaume?

This is all great stuff

London and Middlesex / Tracing my French ancestors
« on: Saturday 25 November 23 14:32 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to find my Hugenot ancestors Pierre Delespaulle & Marie Hanrot but having difficulties.

I have located some of there childrens birth records from French Church Threadneedle Street:

Pierre Delespaulle baptised 8th of March 1674

Elie Delespaulle baptised 1st of January 1673

Marie Delespaule 29th September 1678

Based on the children’s baptismal years I believe Mary & Pierre dob to be somewhere between 1620-1660

The names do vary to some degree in spelling for Pierre and Marie as follows:

LePaule DelePaule Delepaulle Delespaulle Hanro Hanrot Henro Lepla

I have a suspicion that Marie Hanrot could be a sibling of a well documented hugenot by the name of Jonas Hanrot born in Sedan and moved to London but I am unable to certify this.

Any help tracing Marie & Paul would be great - I don’t even really know where to start

Just a quick update on the whole Drummond McGregor scenario for my own family.

My ancestry DNA results have came back.
 
On searching for DNA Matches with people who had the surname Drummond in their tree I had just over 20 results…..

On searching for DNA Matches with people who had the surname McGregor in their tree I didn’t get the final number but stopped counting at 121 ….

Think the McGregor alias holds true (for my Drummonds anyway)

Patrick Drummond and Anne (presumably McArthur)

Son - Duncan Drummond and Katherine Mailor

Son - Duncan Drummond and Ann Key

Son - William Drummond born in London

Hopefully this helps - I found this on scotlands people. I think I searched for Patrick drummond and only record I could find from marriage to a Ann was Anne MacArthur, hope this helps. Scottish family history is absolutely new to me having only found out I had some Scottish ancestry quite recently, it is very complex   ;D

Hi John my Duncan Was named Duncan Drummond born 1776, his father also being named Duncan Drummond from Comrie, having traced his ancestry through Scotland people I reached Patrick Drummond and Anne MacArthur.

I will recap and let you know the exact line as I can’t remember It to hand - I just know I got to Patrick Drummond and Anne MacArthur and couldn’t get past them, I then googled and found this forum - I was of course suprised to see the McGregor link that I had very recently dismissed.

Hi John thanks for your reply, when you say transcript, a transcript of what exactly, is this a transcript of a marriage or birth for example?

What is a transcript from clan Gregor, is this an official record as with ScotlandsPeople?

What I am really trying to achieve is documenting my family tree correctly - I am trying to document and demonstrate clearly through official records that my nans nan was McGregor by blood and a Drummond by name only.

My ancestor on ancestry is called Duncan Drummond Alias McGregor - I have checked on Scotland people and it does look like on record he is Duncan Drummond although I have never brought credits to actually view the records in full which may at some point be worded something such as alias McGregor.

Thanks

Harry

It is all very intriguing - I really thought the McGregor theory was a dead end as I never found any proof and everybody who had my ancestor in there tree as McGregor could not explain or prove the McGregor bit as they has copied someone else’s tree, who has also copied someone else’s tree and so forth.

I always wondered that at some point somebody must of had some information that suggested the McGregor theory and put it on ancestry.

Hi and sorry about the late response - I have a ggg ggfather from Comrie in Duncan Drummond born 1776

His father also Duncan Drummond born Comrie ….

I’m wondering where these two fit in.

One of my Duncan’s married a Katherine Mailor if this helps…
