The story of the religion followed by Claude Delhomme,(or De L'homme, finally Lhomme) is hard to understand
1 . in 1698 a certain Claude de l'homme , son of Claude De l'Homme and Simone Drouin renounces the protestant faith and makes profession of faith in the catholic religion.
How old is he ? Is he the Claude Lhomme we find in 1723 in London with his wife Anne Juvin? Probably.
2.1704 birth of Jacques of Claude Lhomme and Anne Juvin , married without ceremonies and without the proper curate, Jacques baptized (catholic), godmother :françoise magdeleine lhomme , daughter of the late Claude lhomme , labourer (he should be the husband of Simone ) (and thus paternal aunt of the baby.
Let's try to find the death act, may be the name of Simone is mentionned.
3.1706 birth of Claude baptized catholic(of Claude Lhomme and Anne Juvin), of a clandestine marriage, baby baptized by the midwife and the curate legalizes the baptism with the proper ceremonies (catholic)
Claude is a winegrower (vigneron)
4.1708 birth of Denise, baptized catholic of Claude Delomme and Anne Juvin of the so called reformed religion , from the hamlet of Eglancourt . Claude is "Homme de peine"
5. 1711 birth of Marie Anne baptized catholic, of the legitimate marriage of Claude lhomme (winegrower , "nouveau réuni" and Anne Juvin . "The said marriage was done according to their protestant law about 10 years ago, and they lived as husband and wife since then."
nouveau réuni = came back recently to the catholic religion
the marriage is said "legitimate" though done in the protestant religion, or is it a mistake and the curate meant illegitimate?
6.1714 birth of Christine ( baptized catholic)of Claude Delommes (qui estoit de la religion prétendue réformée and Anne Juvin (réputée sa femme = known as his wife). ESTOIT means : was (past)
7.1717 birth of Pierre of Claude delomme, winegrower of this parish and Anne Juvin with whom he has been living for several years as if she was his wife without the sacrament , beinf of the religion of Calvin, godfather ... good catholic, godmother .. good roman catholic
8. 1719 birth of Louise of the so called marriage of Claude Delhomme and Anne Juvin
May be the renouncement was clearly not sincere (they did not go to mass and so on ) .The revocation of the Edict of Nantes led a large majority of protestants to convert.
