Europe / Re: Surname BUTFOY origin pease.
« on: Sunday 31 December 23 13:49 GMT (UK) »I have been able to trace my Huguenot ancestors back to Gabriel Boutefoy and Marie Charron.
My direct line is via their son Charles who was baptised on 1/11/1668 at the Threadneedle Street French Huguenot Church, London (the actual record is in book form at Salt Lake City and is not available on IGI film). This couple had at least 3 another children.
Gabriel and his descendants were all Silk Weavers. It is believed, but not yet proven, that Gabriel was from French Flanders.
Over the years the spelling of Boutefoy evolved into Butfoy.
I am in Australia and would welcome the opportunity to exchange information.
Hello,
I'm wondering if Charles BOUTEFOY, married to 1/ Anne ROCOURT 2/ Anne DE VATINNES, deceased in Vigny (Val d'Oise, France - 50 km north-east from Paris) in March 5th 1735 at age of 69, is the same Charles who was baptized November 1st 1668 at Huguenot Temple, Threadneedle Street, London.
DE VATINNES / DEWATINNES is also a last name founded in Threadneedle Street registers, and parents of Anne DE VATINNES are Joachim and Catherine TOUROUX.
