I am wondering if I can get any further back on this Huguenot branch of my family.
So far I have got to Jersey and some Huguenot ancestors who went to Jersey to carry on their trade of ?weaving.
This thread has a little more information but not much. It is really about daughter Elizabeth's family in England.

The names I am looking for are Francois
Le VAVASSEUR /dit DURRELL who married (I presume) Elizabeth
Le FEUVRE sometime before 1755 I think - al least their daughter Elizabeth was born then and all other children I have listed come after her.
Children in the family are
Elizabeth 1755 - Married 1778 Thomas RANSOM, Shoreditch England - died 1836 Bethnal green
Marie 1763,
Francois Thomas 1764
Margueritte 1769
Pierre Henry 1770
Jean 1773
Jeanne 1780
I would love to be able to go back to the births, marriage and deaths of Francois and Elizabeth. (parents of this tribe.) Maybe in France, or maybe in Jersey.Also - there is a long gap between Elizabeth and the next recorded child.
The later children were all Baptised in the French Huguenot church in Threadneedle Street London. Would the move to England account for the gap in children - maybe?
I haven't had to look in Europe before so am not sure where/how to start. Any pointers gratefully received.
