Re: Name Latue - country of origin.

[Crisrbow]

You are right of course, Robert was father of Margaret not Andrew!. Margaret's son Joseph Latue Booth married Margaret Jane Outterside in 1869. Their daughter Elizabeth Ann was born 1873, she married Benjamin Parkins Heron in 1894, then Thomas Edward Riddell in 1897. Thomas and Margaret had three sons, Harry Latue Riddell was my husband's father. The Latue name Margaret Latue insisted was to be carried on to remember the French Huguenot connection. I believe all her sons had Latue as a middle name.

We live in Yorkshire now but I was born and brought up in Co.Durham, my husband was brought up in Durham from age 3 so we are both very familiar with the places the Latues lived in.  We are going into Durham tomorrow and will be very near Pittington in fact.

Hi Cris,
Thanks for the info. I shall now expand the Latue Family tree. Just out of interest, I have a couple of questions.1) Has your husband or a relative taken a DNA test, as it would be good to confirm that we are genetically connected. 2) Have you contacted the Huguenot Society to see if you can confirm that connection?
We have just moved to Staffordshire after 35 years in the South East in High Wycombe. This was to move nearer to our son's family. I have been to Durham once to visit my father's birthplace, in Spennymoor. We now live in a village called Yoxall. If you wish to view my tree it is Public on Ancestry and is called Birchall and Hawkins Family Tree-Latest. Bill

My husband won't hear of DNA I'm afraid. Not sure if either of our sons would as they are not interested in Family History at all , yet. We do have a photograph of Elizabeth Ann Booth  and her sister who lived with Lizzie as she was known

Hi Cris, Sorry to hear that your husband is anti DNA. It is a very simple process that allows for confirmation of the accuracy of your tree. However, you do have to be prepared for surprises some good some bad. If you are not prepared to accept that, then do not do it. I found that the top three DNA contacts I had not heard of and they had not heard of me. After some detective work by me and one  of the three it was agreed that they were the result of an affair my GG Grandfather had with their GG Grandmother. We get on famously and my wife and I have been invited to family get togethers. Yes you have to be inquisitive and thick skinned. Bill
