Hi
Have you got the actual marriage at the Leicester Fields Protestant Chapel.
It doesn't given too many more details but has the following witnesses
Francis Poret
Anne Poret
Guilliame Poret
M.A G Aubert

Oh, I forgot to post this record I also found yesterday:
Name: Thomas Aubert
Recordset: RG4
Event: Marriage of Thomas Aubert
County: London
Year of Event: 1728
(As you probably know, RG4 contains registers of births, baptisms, deaths, burials and marriages in the National Archives.)

This would suggest that Thomas married Susanne in the year before Bartholemey's birth.

Did you mean that the Leicester Fields Protestant Chapel was where this marriage took place? I wonder who Anne is - unless it refers to Anne Susanne, the bride? And M.A.G. Aubert?

(I suppose it is just possible that there was an unrecorded son called Thomas with his wife Mary before or between the daughters, and that this Thomas is the son, so I'll keep that in mind. However there's no evidence of this as yet.)

Have you got the actual marriage at the Leicester Fields Protestant Chapel.

Hi Ciderdrinker

No, I don't have any marriage details, just the baptism of Barthelemy.  That's great - thanks very much for all of that.

I'm still in the process of putting the Auberts together - I have Thomas' marriage to Mary Terr(e)y, and two children by her; my supposition at this point is that after her death, he went down to London and married Susanne. The first daughter died aged 3; the second daughter possibly moved to Ladbroke and had her name spelt incorrectly when she married John Mumford.

(This all arose from an enquiry I posted in the Warwickshire forum ages ago and came back to recently - it's actually probably/possibly the second daughter with the first wife I was following up for my bloodline - but the Huguenot connection is interesting and I got sidetracked into reading up a bit about them!)

Thanks for the tip about the London Lives website - that may be useful for other searches!

I'll build the records and come back to this tomorrow if I have any other questions (it's night-time here in Australia).

If anyone can find anything further about either Thomas or Susanne in the London area, I'd be grateful.
I found this reference:
London and Surrey, England, Marriage Bonds and Allegations, 1597-1921
Birth, Marriage & Death, including Parish
Name:    Thomas Aubert
Spouse:    Susanne Poret
Residence:    Middlesex

Other records I have found relate to residence in Warwickshire (1707 Thomas, child baptism & death, 1710 daughter baptism; record relating to a first marriage in Warwicks. found) and the baptism of a son, Bartholemy Thomas, in London French Huguenot church in 1729, with mother Susanne: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FQ27-WYT and https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:V5LG-MS1.

I'm wondering if this one could be Susanne? (Anne Susanne) https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:V5LG-ZFC - this would make her about 34 at the time of the baptism...

"...he was last sighted near Durban, South Africa, in late 1902."
Can you expand on this please. What is this last sighting?

I am in the process of transcribing notes from extensive court documents, from a petition brought 3 decades later by the surviving siblings with annexures. A friend saw him on a tram.
The siblings had posted several newspaper advertisements in South African newspapers.
I also have information from other sources which I have yet to put into the narrative. It's a long, strange story.

Do you know why he would want to use an assumed name?

This is the $64m question! I have not as yet found any particular reason.    It's going to take me a while yet to assemble everything I have though.
