Family History Beginners Board / Parole Prisoners in Dover during the Napoleonic Wars
« on: Tuesday 20 May 14 19:34 BST (UK)  »
Hi everyone,

does anyone know anything about the POW's in Dover, England  during the Napoleonic Wars.  Doea anyone know the name of the Parole Agent to the Board of transport or know where I can access any records about these things.  I have tracked some records  to the National Archives, but will need to go there to see them.  I am looking for a particular French relative that appeared in Dover in 1815 and married a local girl.

many thanks,

Lisa

Other Countries / Louis Pique a Napolionic Soldier came to Dover 1815
« on: Tuesday 06 May 14 15:15 BST (UK)  »
Hi Everyone,

I have a relative named Louis Pique he first appears in Dover in 1815 but he was born in France around 1786.  I do not know how he came here, why or where from.  I'd also like to know where he was born.  I would love to get further with this as he seems to have been a bit of a local celebrity in his time, or rather ahead of his time. He was apparently a veteran of the Empire for Napolean .

Thank you.

Immigrants & Emigrants - General / Napoleonic Soldiers Coming to Britian
« on: Monday 05 May 14 08:48 BST (UK)  »
Hi everyone,

I have a relative Louis Pique, from his obituary it appears he was a Napoleonic Soldier.  He appears in Dover in 1815 married a local girl and became quite a local celebrity!  There do not appear to be any passenger records for this period and I can not find his place of birth, it is simply given as France.  I have hit a large brick wall and wondered if there is anything linked with immigration records or his military past that may help us.  He said that he was related to Francois Louis Pique the famous violin maker from Roret/Boret in France, I have written to the mayor, but haven't been able to trace him.  Any help would be fantastic, thank you all.

Hi,

Does anyone have knowledge of the Pique from Dover.  Louis Pique came over from France in 1815 and married a local woman Anna Bartlett.  I am descended form one of their five surviving children, who became a hairdresser in Dover.

I would love to know more!
