Hi members - just re-posting my ancestors names to see if there are any more members of the family out there. Jacques Eude(s) came from near Coutances in Basse Normandie (Manche) via the Channel Islands to London in around 1685/6. He was a member of the Threadneedle Street Church and married Marie Madelaine Launay or L'aune in La Patente Spitalfields in 1690. He was a Silk Weaver. His Grand-daughter Susanna Eude married John Sully in 1764 and was my ancestor mainly through the female line. The contact was continued down to my great grandmother who applied to the French Hospital in London for support when her husband died and was receiving some sort of financial aid from the French Hospital (La Providence) up to about 1955 when she died. Jacques Eude(s) parents (living in Normandy) are given as Louis Eudes and Girette Beaunes. There are numerous record of Eude family in Haute Normandie - Seine Maritime but not so many in the Basse Normandie - Manche. My wife and I visited Notre Dame de Cenilly and Cerisy la Salle, near Coutances last year - either of which could have been his place of origin and found many Eude(s) gravestones in the churchyards of both places but these are of course all 19th & 20th Century as the earlier memorials would have been wooden and have gone now. The locals must have been mystified by the sight of two English tourists jumping up and down in the rain as they found yet another Eude monolithic marble tombstone. Still need to contact La Cercle Genealogique de la Manche (found via the internet) to see if they have anyone researching our family but they do make a charge for membership without which you can't have access to their records. AND of course we should find time to visit the local Mairie and go through the Pages Jaunes (Phone book) to actually talk to descendants (and I know they exist) However don't know if my French, although adequate is up to the job. That's it Robin Moore, Ely, Cambs UK, researching AGACE - EUDE(S) - HEUDE(S) - FANNING - GRATREX - LAMING - LEE - MOORE - SULLY - WHITE, all in East London & Southwark & BAILEY - BENTLEY - SCRIVENER - HOBY, all in Cambridgeshire.

Hi Robin, I wonder if your Launey/L'aune family are connected to my Delaune/D'Laune/DeLauney etc family who came from France to England 100 years earlier (1572 is the earliest date I have found). Guaillaume the father was a physician and Gideon the son was an apothecary. I also have MOORE's in my line but have spent so much time on the Delaune connection that I haven't got back to England yet though I know that they originated there. Are your MOORE's Huguenots?
