The child was Henry Langlois and his parents were Daniel and Jeanne Langlois.  I have a feeling that they were the parents of Pierre Langlois the commode maker - he certainly had some high powered people amongst his customers in the mid 1700s and I suppose it is possible that they had a prior connection with his family.  At this stage though it is pure surmise.

There were other siblings of this family - Gedeon and Anne Marie for instance but their witnesses were much less salubrious - mainly French names.

Not quite sure where this one should go!

I have a birth record being witnessed by one Leopoldine, Princess de Haremberg (sic) in July 1723 in London.  Also witnessing this birth was Henry, Lord St John (sic) who could possibly have been Henry St John, Earl of Bolingbroke who would have been returning from a sort of exile about that time.  This was a Hugenot family, not particularly well known as far as I could gather.

Anyone got any ideas about how I could find this Princesse - googling hasnt given me much to go on! 

Barbara, you are a star!!!  Yes indeed, that would be them.  Her name was actually Harriet (Harriott) Ann so no wonder I was having trouble finding her as that!  She wasnt a widow either, her husband was living it up with a woman 20 years his junior about 5 streets away!! I guess she didnt tell her daughter that either as she was listed as a widow on her death certificate too.

Edited to add, I have had a look at them and though there is no doubt in my mind that this is my family, the dates are utterly up the creek - mum, according to dc would have been born c1897 but in 1841 census was age 30, daughter was registered in 1842 and was registered as Mary Ella so how she came to be Mary Ann and b c 1832 I have no idea.  She was Mary E as informant on the dc.  Oh dear, more confusion as the skeletons clank around the closet!  I have no idea how to find them in 1851 and have done all sorts of fuzzy searches!

Many Thanks!

I can help with this family - Cowley was indeed Cowley not Lowery - she was married twice and is my step gt gt grandmother so not the one you are looking for, I fancy
