Latour / Lantour / Lautour of Calcutta, India

Hi I am researching Maria Frances Geslin de Lautour. I think that she ‘s the daughter of Joseph Francis Louis de Lautour and Anne Hordle.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Interesting!

Let's look to see what we can find

Wishing us luck to find a match.

I've recently had a couple of hints via DNA matching but unsure of the significance.

I recently matched to two people who are descended from a Grace Elizabeth Frances Latour (1868-1924) she married a Thomas Walter Stanislaus Rebeiro (1852-1921) sometimes the Walter is changed to a William.

Do either of these names mean anything to you?

My Heritage is hinting that the DNA matches and my father share Great Great Grandparents, that would be John Lester Noel and Claudine Rose Latour. As Grace was born in 1868, that is before any of the Noel children were born, I'm wondering if Grace is the daughter of Claudine but possibly not John Noel.

1868 seems a little late for her to be a daughter of John Pierre Latour and Jeanne Rose, especially as I have Jeanne dying in 1831.

Interestingly one of Grace Latours children with Thomas Rebeiro is named Sylvia ROSE Rebeiro

This is highly likely a dead thread so my apologies if this is against the rules. I am yet another de Lautour descendant from Cecil Albert (being my 3rd G-G'father?) and slowly moving my way up the chain. I had got to the Count François and would love to see a copy of his likeness if it was still around.

Some very interesting things spoken about the family here! I feel like I might be about 10 years too late to join this party though 

My line goes down from de Lautour to Hodge in Australia/New Zealand.

Hope you are all happy and well.

Hi. I may be able to help in a small way. Edward de Lautour who married Catherine Sconce was my great-great grandfather. It was his grandfather Count Francis Joseph Louis Lautour de Quercy who was the first of the family to go to India in 1777. The Count's son Joseph Andrew was a military officer in England until 1814, and his son Edward was born that same year. Edward went to Calcutta at the age of 23 and joined the East India Civil Service. He married Catherine in 1837 and later rose to become a judge in the Supreme Court in Calcutta. I can't help with the other names, although Count Francis Lautour had a son before his marriage, and called him Joseph Francois Louis Lautour, so it is possible I guess that he was the father of your Louis Latour. (That last bit is pure speculation!)
Good luck with your research.
