Hi John and all, From: "John Ozment" <johnozment@hotmail.com> Sent: Saturday, December 17, 2005 2:44 AM Subject: [HWE] Relief List? > Where might I find a list of London Huguenots receiving > financial relief from the English king? There are also lists of people from the Palatinate who arrived in London between May and July 1709. There are some Huguenots on them. They were printed in the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record in vols 40 and 41 and in Walter Knittle's book, Early Eighteenth Century Palatine Emigration. That summer almost 20,000 pounds was collected as alms for these people. [Knittle, pp. 68-69] Regards, Howard hswain@ix.netcom.com

Hello - I emailed this directly to Tony Fuller because he has helped me in the past, but I am not sure if he has got it, sometimes my email is considered junk mail. I'd appreciate any help from anyone. Hi Tony (and others) Do you remember my Du Soleils? If you do or don't, I hope I am not bothering you. I thought you might be able to help me a little bit. I recently found the death of a Peter DUSOLIE on FreeBMD in 1852 in Marylebone. Intrigued by this (there were a Peter and Elizabeth Dusolei having children around the same time and in the same area as my Thomas and Sarah), I found him on the 1851 census, a porter, aged 83 born Westminster St Anns (where my Dusolei's were from). This gives his year of birth as 1768. So I used the batch code for St Ann's Soho and looked under first name.... Peter. There was a Peter DESOLEI baptised Oct 1767. Perfect match, no? I also found a John DESOLAI born in 1757 in St Ann's too. Parents were John and Mary. The same as my Thomas, born 1763. I was wondering if when you looked at the records/indexes you looked at, did you also use these spellings, DESOLIE/DESOLAI/DESOLEI/DESOLEIL? You probably did, but I am trying ever so hard to find out more about these ancestors and to find the marriage of John and Mary or Jean and Marie as they were probably known, and perhaps one day find out where in France they were from, and when they came over. I'm sure you understand how I feel. Anyway, will leave you to whatever you were doing before. I hope I have not bothered you. Kind regards Chloe
