Peter Lawlanier - I think!!

Hello John

Yes just had a look at the Ronssoy registers myself and Adrien and his siblings certainly don't have anything out of the ordinary recorded on their baptisms, and are down as born in legitimate marriage. Of course it varies from parish to parish and on the personal inclinations of the cleric but usually there was some indication if the child was protestant, a note of illegitimacy at very least, or the child bought into the church by midwife, or neighbours. Some were very explicit, the worse I have come across from the period was a cleric who wrote something along the lines of 'today I baptised the miserable bastard of two devious huguenots, the child born forever dead to the love and mercy of God'! Eye opener to the attitudes faced by the majority of Protestants who remained in France.

Hello John

Yes Steward/Stewart Street was one of the very wealthy streets. Steward Street, Gun Street, Church Street, Wood Street and Princes Street were where the main concentration of silk manufacturers businesses and homes were in Spitalfields.

I have a list of the Huguenots who operated there in the 18th century which includes Daniel:

William Le Blond (Clock Maker)      1776-1800           31, Steward Street, Spitalfields
Obadiah Legrew (Silk Manufacturer)   1776-1800           28, Steward Street, Spitalfields
Guillemard & Sons (Silk Manufacturer)   1751-1800           20 Steward Street, Spital fields

John Baptist Lemonier (Silk Manufacturer)1776-1800   18, Steward Street, Spitalfields
Peter Guillebaud (Silk Manufacturer)   1776-1800           16, Steward Street, Spitalfields
Daniel Boitel   (Silk Manufacturer)   1776-1800           14, Steward Street, Spitalfields

A. P. Vansenten    (Silk Manufacturer)   1776-1800    2, Stewart Street, Spitalfields
Abraham Delamare (Silk Manufacturer)   1751-1775    Steward Street, Spitalfields
John Delamare   (Silk Manufacturer)   1751-1775           Steward Street, Spitalfields

Peter Le Keux   (Silk Manufacturer)   1751-1775    Stewart Street, Spitalfields
John Lewis   (Silk Manufacturer)           1751-1775           Steward Street, Spitalfield
Stephen Beuzeville (Silk Manufacturer)    1751-1775    Steward Street, Spitalfields
Peter Beuzeville (Silk Manufacturer)    1775-1800    Steward Street, Spitalfields
Peter Ferry Michel (Silk Manufacturer)   1776-1800     Stewart Street, Spitalfields

Some very distinguished names in the English silk weaving business there such as the Guillemards, Delamares and Aubers. Peter Le Keux also had premesis in Red Lion Street, his grandfather Charles Marescoe was one of the original three Huguenot refugees who started the Spitalfields silk weaving industry in the 1660's. Peter was one of the ten most wealthy Huguenots in Britain, he would have been a millionaire many times over by today's standards.

I saw your discussion about Spitalfields.  I wondered where the list came from.  I am researching the LeBlond family who were in the area in the 1700s, with baptisms etc in the Artillery and Threadneedle St churches.  My ancestor Margueritte LeBlond, daughter of Jean LeBlond & Margueritte DeCaux, married Jonathan Green in 1753.  I can look up baptisms etc, but I wondered if you had any suggestions as where to look for additional information on this family.

Thank you
