    1. [HWE] (Cont'd) TOUZEAU in Plymouth

    3. Ooops, just a couple of slips I made in my previous message on this same subject. In item 1) when I suggested searching the IGI for TOUZEAU, I neglected to mention that a region also has to be selected -- in this case, British Isles > England > Devon (optional, I think). You could also try leaving out the county altogether so that the whole of England is searched and see what you get. Bear in mind that these records on the IGI -- even though they are taken from the French church records published by the Hug. Society of Ldn. -- really are just the "barest bones" of those records. The actual records themselves contain much more detail and information than is on the IGI. For example, a baptism record on the IGI contains only the date, location, name of child and the parents. In the actual records, you would likely get names of godparents, and perhaps grandparents. Similarly, an IGI marriage record has just the date, location, name of bride/groom. In the church records, there may be many more details included such as: names of witnesses, friends, parents, siblings or other relatives, etc. In item 4), the very last sentence, ie. ".....St. Andrew was probably a parish (ie. C of E) church which was heavily attended.", I should have added at the end of that sentence: "by Huguenots". If I've made any other stumbles, let me know.
