Margaret or Marguerite Doule or Dawl de Croisette Broadlands Hants

Hi I believe the above lady married my 8 x Gt Grandfather David Sabatier Siegneur De La Croissette in 1688 at St Pancras Old Church. Her only son found is John or Jean Baptised at Le Carre & Berwick Street French Huguenot Church in 1697. He married Catherine T(h)abary in 1716 in Spitalfields. I believe the entry reads son of 'late' David Sabatier. On reading the life story of Sir John St Barbe of Broadlands I found Margaret was mentioned along with her son 'Jean of the Guards' in Sir John will and they were bequeathed monies and a farm as in an indenture dated 1723. Margaret Uruquat the book's author states Mdme Doule received a pension as a widow of officers slain 1715 to 1726. She was a widow in 1723. Jean her son's Godparents were Hon Jean Dormer Esq and Capne Pierre Gigneau(oux) and his wife Marie du Rosel. I since traced Gignoux may have been in Du Cambon's Huguenot Regiment. There is a Margaret Sabatier in a list of pensions in 1715 online. But apart from this limited gleanings I have no idea where Margaret Doule came from or where her husband died.
Lots of links to Southampton and Ireland. Apologies for the long post but maybe someone can point me in the right direction. I have recently joined the Huguenot Society. Many thanks

There is a St Barbe's Museum in Lymington Hampshire, and Broadlands is the home of the Mountbatten family in Romsey Hampshire.

Thankyou for your reply Much appreciated I was unaware of the museum at Lymington,which I shall now investigate further. From reading Sir John St Barbe Biography I understand as he died without issue he left Broadlands to Henry Sydenham and eventually Broadlands was sold to the Mountbatten family. I'm hoping Sir John's conenction with the Huguenot Church in Soho Square will find me the answers as to why Margaret Doule was so highly regarded in his will
Many thanks

Have you looked at Margaret's will from 1743  (PROB 11/724/402)?

She indicates that she has a sister who lives in Lyon in France.  So there may be a link there.  She mentions some other names as well.

Hi Nell Thank you so much for your reply I appreciate your interest. I do have this will and I am open minded as to who it relates to especially as she doesn't say widow or spinster. I am open to ideas that this is Margaret Doule and she refers to 'Brothers and Sisters not necessarily as blood.I see she has a sister in Lyon married to a Mr Bryn. Also mentions her Brother John Sabatier and sisters all Sabatier linking with the lines Foucault, Girandau, Hays and Galdy and cousin John Antony Merle. (A Merle married a Elizabeth Sabatier in 1693)She requests to be buried near her late Mother & Father in Chelsea Chuch. I have found a Jean & Margaret Sabatier buried in Chelsea in 1722. And then her sister Mary Foucault nee Sabatier requests ''To buy a stone for my late father Mother and her sister at Chelsea Church' in her will of 1761
To be honest I'm uncertain if the various Sabatier lineage of weavers is connected to my line as Le Croissette state heritage from Picardy and Sabatier from Lyon Very addictive
