Just to add that my husband's family are called Paul and are of Huguenot descent. In the first half of the twentieth century they lived in the Wimbledon area of South West London (Tooting perhaps.) I found a reference to what appears to be the same family, coming to the UK in I think, the 1 18th century and settling in Scotland (Sutherland) where they worked as weavers. This is harder to research because of restricted access to Scottish archives but they seem to have specialised in weaving fine wool. Why they should move to a relatively poor and underpopulated area of the UK I do not know. They married into a Scottish family called Darling. John Paul married Isabella Darling on 13th August 1839 in London. I do not know when they moved to London of if they left family behind in Scotland (maybe he was a younger son?) They had a large family including Christian (b 1840) Janet (b 1841) Isabella (b1843) James Alexander (b1844) Emily (b1846) John (b1848) William George (b1850) Albert (b 1852) Henry Robert (1854) Harriet (b 1857). My husband is descended from Albert Paul. I cannot find anyone called Charles in the family tree.
