Hello All, <snip> > I have DEWKER ancestors from Sandwich, Kent in the early 1700s and LALLEMONT > ancestors in London in the late 1700s. Every so often a name arises in this most wonderful of lists that grabs my attention. The name that has me this time is LALLEMONT. In our humble database of related family there is a name that is very similar. LALEMONT and / or LALLEMAND. Going back a gazillion years, that family married into ours, or did we marry into hers hmm, by marrying Martin LEROY. He has other names but that is sufficient for now. Yes, funny thing to suggest that he had "other" names, but way back in those years that we find the family, it was only a recent idea to actually have surnames as such, and so folks tended to flip flop between names that they were given or earned or just plain took for themselves. Unfortunately for this list, I am unable to offer the family tie to the name sought i.e. LALLEMONT as the recrds we have on them are only up to Bienvenue LALLEMAND who was born in 1390 (her Dad was a Doctor) and married in 1413 in Bourges. Way beform the scope of this HWE list. And so I too am interested to see if anyone has information on the name, even though it is unlikely to be related by the time of the Huguenot period Kind Regards, Peter Leroy I can say that at that time like most in France, they were Catholic.
