Juler Family

[Kate Chamberlayne]

Hi,
I've been researching the Julers for a while, as my 2xggf was adopted into the Juler family.
I've written a lot of what I've discovered into WikiTree here.
This is the bio of William Fox Juler, chemist and druggist of Norwich https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Juler-31

- his forbears go back to John Juler, famous watch and clockmaker of North Walsham, Norfolk,
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Juler-9
and his ancestors, who, the story goes, were French Huguenot jewellers who fled persecution in about 1680, in the reign of Louis XIV. That would certainly fit the name; 'le joaillier' being French for 'jeweler'.

I don't know if any of these bios are relevant to you, but you might find a few details which would be useful.
I haven't yet managed to get any further than Matthew Juler, John's father. That said, I haven't visited Matthew for about three years (too many other rabbit holes) and by now I might know enough to be able to do better research.

Feel free to contact me, if you'd like to.

Jewish history in Norwich I saw on a TV programme goes back to medieval times.
The Norfolk Record Office may be able to help you.

Thank you! 

The idea that the Julers are of Jewish descent is very attractive, but unless someone with DNA data comes forward, probably not provable.

This might well be very relevant. Thank you very much for the tip!

I wonder if they might have had a local origin. There are these Julers or Julier in or not far from North Walsham. Gimmingham and Crostwight are a few miles away and Foulsham is 15 miles.

There were Julers all across Norfolk. Spellings vary, of course.

These are just a few. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Juler-28

I haven't had time to create new profiles as I've been focusing on other branches of my family - you know how it is.

They also spread to Cambridgeshire, where they were iron founders.
