Tourelle *Spitafields (French Huguenots)

[Juan III]

I am new to Rootschat having stumbled across this site today, I am a decendent of a James Henry Tourell and what I have is he was born 05/07/1854 in Middlesex England. He migrated to NZ at the age of one, his wife Mary Doyle was from Ireland.
He died in Dunedin NZ on 05/01/1926.
 I have an interest in knowing a bit more as I will be in France next week and will be travelling thru Nimes,this city popped up on a google search for the Tourelle name. The family has known of a Huguenot  connection but not much eles. Of interest is that my grandfather fought in France in 1917-1919. He was in the NZ Expeditionary Force and survived the war.
I know this is an old thread but I hope someone may have some additional info.
Cheers
Juan

HI There thanks for info, we are closely connected! you thru James William father of James Henry and me thru James William's sister Ellen Elizabeth Tourell whom married Benjamin Packwood in Northampton in 1851. Have you traced the Tourell's back from James William?
Cheers

Hi Juan,
I am interested in the Tourell family in NZ because of Mary Doyle. I have information about this Doyle family.

I am researching the Tourell family in NZ and have living descendants from Nimes here in NZ
They came to NZ in 1855.
Happy to discuss with anyone interested.
