Brilliant, thanks so much!

This feels like a useful bit of information to have too:
(can't figure out how to insert a screenshot so typing out the text)
"Il est probable qu'aux registres de réfuge certains fugitifs indiquaient comme lieu d'origine non leur paroisse particulière mais le siège de leur prêche [sp??] réformé."
(Link here):

Then on the following pages there appear to be lists pertaining to this. Can anyone help to unpick what the lists indicate? I'm guessing that the first column in red is the village / location, and the one in blue indicates the locations of the reformed church or something?
Might this offer clues as to which records to dig into next, I wonder?
"Il est probable qu'aux registres de refuge certains fugitifs indiquaient comme lieu d'origine non leur paroisse particulière mais le siège de leur prêche réformé"
For example : a protestant lived in a small village (A )where there was no protestant minister, he had to go to the nearest village (B) where there was one . In England when asked where did he came from he answered : from B.
Page 277 :
in red : the parish
in blue: the village
they aren't always the same , for example :
Re the codes and other information, it looks like the X's in column 6 and 11 (key on p 350) mean:
6: a été mauvais converti, catholique preverti [not sure about the exact spelling of this word; it's hard to read], opiniâtre dans la foi reformé, militant, ou membres des églises aux 16ème et 17ème siècles.
11. a quitté le royaume pour la réligion [...]
Does 6 imply a forced abjuration at some point? Or am I misunderstanding "mauvais converti" ?
Yes indeed it implies an unsincere abjuration. And it was in Poitou that he first "dragonnades" took place :
