Were they perhaps Catholic?

Lancashire on line Parish Clerk  abbreviated to Lancs OPC  has a great many Lancashire Records

very few Catholic records are on line.

I can't say if he was a catholic , french registers don't mention the religion after 1790.

Added: he is said to be an english sailor made prisonner and sent in Bitche.
