Sorry - we (I
)seem to have muddied the waters somewhat now with information being on both threads.
Thank you so much, amondg. I have found the newspaper refs and am delighted to have learnt that FindMyPast has a section for newspapers which I have never noticed before so off to look for some more for my own research!!
Here's a transcript of the mention, from
London Courier and Evening Gazette, 22 May 1834
COMMITTAL OF THE FRENCH SWINDLER
Auguste Pierre de Noni, alias Count d'Pron, alias the Chevalier de Lounet was committed by trial for obtaining, by false representations, a valuable dinner and tea service of china, of Mr Courtenay, 34 Old Bond St, under the circumstances already stated in our paper of Tuesday.
The same paragraph is also reprted in
The Morning Post (London, England), Thursday, May 22, 1834Amondg, the Alien arrivals in London is most interesting also. Yes, his wife did live in England later, as did some of his children. She died in
1933 1901 (thanks, amondg) and probate granted both in England and in NSW, with the estates having differing values so I assume she had interests in both places.
Seems to me that the Pondicherry birth findings on the other thread explain a lot!!
As to the marriage being in St Mary's cathedral I speculate that this is because both parties were of Roman Catholic faith.
