It is a late date and there is no obvious Huguenot connection back to the 1860s.  The surname Rowley may be a local name.  JP Roelly's website though is nevertheless an interesting co-incidence.

Hi Richard

I was reading about Ben's progress on the Fradins and Morin.  I hope Ben sees this note.  I am pleased that at least we known where some of our common Huguenot ancestors came from.  (By the way, if anyone is interested, the novel 'Angelique in Revolt' one of a well regarded series of French historical novels by Sergeanne Golon is partly set in the Poitou region of the 1670s among Huguenot families). 

But that is not why I write.  Matilda Auber (my grandmother's grandmother and descendant of the Fradins) married a George Rowley in 1868.  The Rowleys were from Pattingham, S. Staffordshire, but otherwise nothing remarkable as far as I know. 

Two things: I recall noticing that Pattingham parish records seem to have some significance with the Huguenot Society.  Do you know if this is correct, and if so, eaxctly why - apart fom the obvious?
I had also come across JP Roelly's website (the London Fradins are listed on the site interestingly).
Could the Pattingam Rowleys also be of Huguenot descent?  I have no reason to think they were, but I have been puzzled by George's marriage to someone from the Hoxton/ Clerkenwell area.

I would like you opinion, Richard.

Cheers.

Hi Ben

Well, failing that I'd like to find out more about the Fradin/es and Morins.

Hi Ben

Yes, Matilda's grandparents were John and Elizabeth Auber.  Do you think there is any chance of finding out where the Aubers orginated from do you think, ie before c.1750?

Hello Ben

I have only just picked up your reply of 1 Nov to my message re the Aubers - sorry for the delay.   Matilda Auber was my maternal grandmother's grandmother.
I established that a few years ago, but a hunch in an idle moment last summer about her name and City address made me Google Matilda's name and location and I picked up your work.  Splendid.  I always had a soft spot for the Huguenots now I know why!
The family married in to the Rowleys from Pattingham in South Staffordshire, which is rather odd to my mind, except that I noticed the Huguenot Society has collated the Pattingham parish records.  I have also noticed that the 'Roelli' name is associated with French protestants from inter alia Picardy (and the Rhineland), but I don't now if this is coincidence.

Anyway, thanks for getting back.

Kind regards

PaulW

Hi Ben

My maternal grandmother's paternal grandmother was an Auber.  The family tree shows up Helsdons and Harbords (from Norwich), plus Fradines, Morins and Pequins from London EC.

What do you know about them, particularly the Aubers (I can track them back only s far as 1750, but suspect the name came from the Dieppe area).
