Hello Kells, I am currently writing a book on the Huguenot Ivory and Bone Turners in England, so I searched through what I have already completed, and found the following reference on page 56:
"Seven years later on 27th October 1711, David(Hannot) was married, at St Dunstan's, Stepney, to
Elizabeth Ouvry, and was described then as an 'Ivory Turner of Spitalfields'.
Elizabeth's family also had links to Canterbury, though were originally from the village of
Coudray, in the region of Dieppe, and were members of the Luneray Temple, where the
family name was spelt Ouvrix.
Elizabeth's father Charles Ouvrix/Ouvry was a shoemaker in France. In England the
family were concerned primarily with silk weaving, though there is some evidence of
involvement in ivory turning from a single later reference to a:
'John Overy, Box Maker, of St Andrew, Holborn' in the Middlesex Sessions of June 1747'
This was the only evidence I have so far found of the Ouvry family in the trade, ('Box Maker' almost certainly indicating he was making ivory or horn snuff boxes at this date), but the fact a John Overy/Ouvry was involved in the same industry as John Webber, at more or less the same date, in the same London parish, must point towards some link.
