Hello Murray

I usually help out here with the Huguenot look ups but don't know how much info you already have on them from the French churches etc?

The family were from Nimes, and appear to be part of the wave of refugees that came to England in the lull between the Austrian War of Succesion and the Seven Years War, 1748-57, a period which saw the French troops at home and persecuting the Protestants. In London they were received by Pastor Jacob Bourdillon into his Artillery church in Spitalfields, and on Bourdillon's death in the late 1780's and the Artillery's closure, they became part of the larger Threadneedle Street congregation. They are well represented in the records of the French Hospital right up to the 20th century.

There is an interesting site here with some info on them:

To add to this I have found a little further info on your ancestor Paul Toureille, Jean's father.

He was one of a band of 115 émigrants who left France first for Lausanne, in modern Switzerland, and then moved on again on  June 26, 1752, to Rotterdam, moving again in September of that year to the Huguenot community in Dublin.


They were led in this exodus by Pastor François Coste, who was one of Antoine Court's 'Desert Church' deputies, clandestine preachers operating illegally in France, risking execution, codenamed 'Juston'.  Five letters of Coste, written at various steps on this journey recount their various adventures on the trip to Rotterdam, and the struggle to survive.


In addition this group were also discussed in Paul Rabaut's biography, as part of his letters to Pastor Antoine Court (1739-1755), where Paul Toureille is specifically mentioned by name (page 215 of modern printing) described as a Silk Weaver of Nimes, who greatly angered the Marshall of that city when he fled, as he did so leaving great debts behind him.


Once in Dublin Paul's wife and children, (who fled France the year after him, see here: http://www.tomosborn.f2s.com/notes/notes_tourell_app_2.html) later joined him.


The Toureilles and some others then. some time later, moved on again, from Dublin to the Huguenot community in London, where as stated above they were received by Bourdillon in Spitalfields.
