I have just joined this excellent mailing list and so I am going to stop lurking and put out a general help call along all family lines to find others to share detail with. My line of descent from Jean TEVELEIN (b.1618, Guemps) who married in abt 1640 Marie BEUNE (b abt 1622,Guemps)is: : Isaac TEVELEIN (b 1654, Guines) + Elizabeth DASSELAR, (b unknown) m 1682, Guines, Fra Isaac TEVELEIN (b 1683, Guines) + Elizabeth OLIVE (b.1682, Guemps), m 1706, Canterbury, UK Issac TEVELIN (b 1707, Canterbury) + Ann PICARD (b. 1711, Canterbury), m 1734, Canterbury Joseph TEVELIN (b 1750 Canterbury) + Mary BRICE (b. 1750, Canterbury), m 1773, Canterbury Isabella TEVELIN (b.1791, Canterbury) + John GIBBENS (b 1792, Thanet Street), m 1825, Canterbury) Frederick GIBBENS (b 1836, Thanet Street) + Elizabeth HOPPER (b. 1833) m 1861 Emma GIBBENS (b.1866, Elham) + David Edward FISHER (b 1866) Irene Hilda FISHER (b 1909, Lyminge) + Jack BATES (b 1906 Dover) m Lyminge 1931. Clive BATES (b 1933, Lyminge) 1. I am trying to trace the associated family lines of BEUNE, DASSELAR, BLANCHAR(D), OLIVE, PICARD, BRICE, GIBBENS, GIBBONS, HOPPER and FISHER and would be very grateful for any help. 2. There are at least ten various spellings of Tevelain, Thevelin, Tiblain, Teblain, Tevlin and I am interested to know of any evidence of a Huguenot connection in these families. 3. I would be over the moon to hear of any pre-1600 ancestors ! 4 Links with FISHER prior to 1866 and with BATES prior to 1900 would also be very welcome.
