Now this is an interesting one! This is possibly a branch of the DU QUESNE family that may have settled in the South of England . Once established in this country the family swiflty changed its name to DU CANE - there are still some representatives. This family was from the Norman/breton coast of France . You may be able to get more joy from the Huguenot Society of London. I don't have their e-mail but no doubt some one on the list does!
