Hello -- This is in response to Malinda <mthiesse@swbell.net> who, on 16 Oct, wondered if the CARRY surname she saw in the Threadneedle St. tésmoignages was connected to the CARY family of Bristol, ENG & Colonial VA, USA from which she is descended. Hmmmmm......no way to tell, Malinda, but hope springs eternal, doesn't it? I notice there are quite a few CARRÉ in the tésmoignages (but only one CARRY). Remember that England is a small island so it's entirely possible that families in Bristol might have relatives who went to London. In my case, I have branches of my family in Canterbury but also others in London. Also, I have seen the CARE spelling in some Kent records (not Huguenot ones, though) and have wondered if there is a connection. We have another subscriber interested in the CAREY, CAREE, & CORRE surnames (in Canterbury). Maybe she can shed some further light on this? In case the CARRY and CARRÉ surnames in the tésmoignages may be useful to Malinda and others, here they are listed below. Note how many different places they came from. Paul CARRY T. Luisignan 9 Oct 1681 Jaques CARRÉ Tem. d'Amsterdam 26 Sept 1669 Abraham CARRÉ T. Rouan 30 Sept 1674 Francois CARRÉ T. Stockholm 25 Dec 1687 Christophle CARRÉ T. Jean RAMET 31 Dec 1704 Nicolas CARRÉ & Marie, sa fem: d'Amiens. T. Canterbury 29 Jly 1722 Pierre CARRÉ: né à Amiens. T. Canterbury 30 Sept 1722 Pierre CARRÉ & Marguerite, sa fem: de Cambray: Revenu de France, a fait reconnaisance 31 Mar 1728 Pierre CARRÉ 31 Aug 1755 Jaques CARRÉ: natif de Londres. T. Pierre NAY 24 Apr 1726 Thomas CARRÉ: 20 ans. T. Mr. HUMPHRY 2 Sept 1747 Marthe CARRÉ & Georges POYSAY T. Dartmouth 17 Jly 1688 Does anyone else on the list have evidence of their family in different geographical locations in England and elsewhere? Andrea

Thank you for all your efforts , Andrea ! I wonder if you might be able to tell me what " T. Lusignan" means following Paul CARRY's name ? I have seen LUSIGNAN used as a 'surname' in one of my other Medieval lines and just wondered. Thanks again ! malinda thiessen jones Andrea Vogel wrote: > Hello -- This is in response to Malinda <mthiesse@swbell.net> who, on 16 > Oct, wondered if the CARRY surname she saw in the Threadneedle St. > tésmoignages was connected to the CARY family of Bristol, ENG & Colonial VA, > USA from which she is descended. > > Hmmmmm......no way to tell, Malinda, but hope springs eternal, doesn't > it?
