Huguenots in Cornwall ??

[Billie Mendav]

Specifically for Cadoret:

Can you tell me in which source you looked up the names Francis and Julian?   I'm interested in the fact that they came over during the third wave - might make them easier to find.    Can you give me approximate dates?

I recently bought a data CD from a genealogy company of names of "Foreign and French Protestants etc" in the hope that this might assist my search, but I am still trawling my way through it.    It is very informative though

Thank you for your response, which I appreciate,
Billie

Hi,

yn9man; I didn't find Jory / Jorey / Jorry / Jorre, but I did find Joret; they came over during the 1st wave, i.e. before the reign of Louis XIV., of France. (1643). So they would have had plenty of time to get down to Cornwall & for the name to get modified over the years.

Hope the above is useful,

Graeme

Thanks for your information. I just spent a few days with my father and he again mentioned the Jory side of his family and they supposedly at been in England quite awhile before heading off to the US. Partial confirmation of your info.

Thanks again and I will continue to look at the name Joret.

I have had a quick look at my disk of Huguenot names, and I find the name JOIRY included.    At the moment I can't tell where they were, the disk is new to me and I'm still trying to figure out how to use it properly!

Hi Billie -

I have never seen the JOIRY spelling. I will add to my list of possible spelling variations / names.

Many thanks.

I also have been told that my "Dabb" line of rellies was involved with the Huegenots & these ones ended up in Cornwall, England in the 1600's.
I don't have any actual proof of it just stories handed down from my grt. aunts to my dad. Interestingly enough my Australian rellies have heard the same story.

Hi, I am searching for information about Huguenot's going to Cornwall in the early 1700's. My ancestor, Rene Contencin, left Chatellerault, Vienne, Poitou in 1717 and settled in Fowey, Cornwall. He was a vitner and married a widow, Elizabeth Andrews. Her aunt, Elizabeth Bone had a 99 year lease on the Ship Inn and they both worked there.
   Rene died in 1729, leaving two children and Elizabeth carried on the lease after her aunt died.
   If anyone has seen the Contencin name in relation to Huguenot migration or others in London, I would like to hear from you.

Only been doing this for a couple of days, but my married surname is Twilley, believe from my husband they they decended from the Huegenot's, and his great, great grandparents were something to do with the Twill cotton.

Hello all,

I'm a newbie, first post. I've revived an old thread, "Re: Huguenots in Cornwall??".
The last post was on Friday O8 January 2010.

My surname, I spell it LANDREY, is French. I have my direct line to a marriage in St. Neots Parish in Cornwall on July 12 1600. 9 children. Their names, Pascowe, Christian, Benedick, Jone, Tamsyn, Orphew etc., are possibly Protestant, possibly Huguenot in origin. That is the family "story" I was raised with.

Is there anyone still following this topic, or who wouldn't mind pointing me to a more fruitful thread?

Thank you ever so much. From Canada, good night and good morning.

Merged with original thread for better response.

For Lannadrey, that was a really interesting post, sort of proves that there were Huguenots in Cornwall although they are hard to find.    I read somewhere that there was a Huguenot church somewhere near Falmouth for a short period of time, then they merged with the local churches.     My family story is the same, that there is a Huguenot connection, but I haven't been able to confirm it yet.    I started this thread in October 2006 and I'm still searching!

Do you have any of the following names in your tree:   Menhennet and variants, Lilley, Francis, Bohenna or Julian?

What I find most interesting is that as I confirm your names on Familysearch, your Landrey folk come from the same areas of Cornwall as mine - St Neot is near Liskeard and Menheniot, and lots of mine lived around East Newlyn and then Truro.

Thanks for the information
