I wonder if the surname is originally French?

Much appreciated Mary and Laurina, I would never have been able to trace the line further back without your help. Thank you both for your time.

Laurina

Laurina, my nan mentioned to me once that she thought the name was French, it does have a French ring to it, its just finding the records to prove any ancestrs emigrated.

Do you know of any passenger lists that I could check?

Thanks.

[Laurina]

I'm sorry but I've no idea on passenger lists from France - it's so close they could probably have come across fairly easily.

Feels French to me although nothing much to base the feeling on.

If Laurina is right about the siblings, and she probably is, other siblings may have also moved to London

I might as well give details of the other couple of marriages, perhaps you could keep them on file as you never know when you may connect with them.

Both signed
Witnesses Henry Quelch? James Toole? Emma Dadge, Keziah Quelch

This one is interesting - could it be an older sister to Nathaniel?

Nathaniel Preston of full age Bachelor Dairyman, address Praed Street, father Joseph Preston, Butcher
Susannah Bertout Minor Spinster Harrow Road, father James Bertout, Gardener
Both made their mark

I'm thinking you might read up about Huguenots.

Thanks Mary.

I see the what you mean about the French connection with the huguenots.

I'll see what I can dig up.

Thanks.
