Hi Maggie,

Thank you for all the info. I’m sure it will be useful in my search.
I’ve traced the family back to the 1600’s, living in Armagh, N.I.

From what I’ve learnt in my research, the Huguenots were affiliated to the Scottish Presbyterian faith, and I have found records for the family for baptisms and marriages in the Presbyterian church.

There are Flax growers and weavers amongst them, occupations which the Huguenots were known for. There is also mention in the family files of the family name Chartier.
I think this is a variant spelling of Chartres.

Please let me know if you find anymore.
Regards,
Moshe.

Interesting isn't it Moshe?

Glad to provide a bit of help and I'll certainly have another more in depth look, particularly at the chapter on the Chartres family, of which I would agree the name Chartier could well be a variant of.

Gook luck.

Hi Ellen - I'll certainly have a look for the name on the CD I have but it may be a day or two before I have time so bear with me.

One of my 2Xg maternal grandmothers was Sarah Moule who was christened  in Cambridge in 1830.She was the daughter of John Moule and Elizabeth Doggett. Without success I have traced the line back to Thorney which is a Hugenot stronghold. However, I am unable to establish that Moule is in fact a Hugenot name. It sounds as though it should be (French for mussel) but I have not been able to confirm it. Can anyone help please?

I'll certainly have a look for any mention of Moule on my CD Roger, hopefully tomorrow.

Hi Ellen,

The only mention of the name Hosier that I can find on my CD is of an Elizabeth Hosier (72) who is listed in the burials of St Botoph, Bishopsgate 1803-12.  A note attached to this list explains that there is an absence of death and burial registers amongst the records of the various French churches and Huguenots were usually buried in their local parish church so are indistinguishable from everyone else except perhaps for their surnames. 

The inference here then is that the name does have Huguenot associations.

The best I can do I’m afraid.

Hi Roger,

So far I have found this:-

Pierre Moule[?].  The name is amongst a list of a number of French Protestant (Huguenot) soldiers who were mostly disbanded in Ireland and likely to pass over to Holland. However in practice they were presumably free to stay or go as they pleased since they were no longer formally under arms and may have remained in Ireland or England.

I have extracted this information from Irish Huguenot Soldiers Disbanded in 1699 from the Calendar of State Papers Domestic
1699-1700

I'm still looking
