Hi everybody, I'm new to this list so let me explain where I am coming from. On my wife's side of our FT she has a lady called MARY GALLOPINE marrying a Joseph STEVENSON in London in 1762. Mary was the daughter of a James Gallopine and this line appears to have all been Coopers and/or Citizens /Freemen of the City of London. Through apprenticeship docs I have been able to get back to a Pierre GALLOPPIN approx 1620. The name is obviously French in origin and I am pretty sure this is the connection to a Huguenot immigration. Although other abbreviations of the surname exist coming forward, the surname in this particular family is constant but seems to have died out in the mid 1800's however, one line of Stevensons kept using the GALLOPINE name and spelling as second given names up until the 1900's. I have other interesting info on this family, properties etc (including one cracker!) so if anyone has an interest I'd love to hear from them. The STUTEVILLE name comes from another marriage to a male STEVENSON and is another Mary! marrying in Greenwich abt 1783. I've got back two further generations but that is it. I know the STUTEVILLE name goes way back across the Channel so again has anyone got any info on this lady? Thanks again regards Alan Y
