    3. Dear Phyl and others I am interested in huguenot family names livning in Thorney, because I don't know how many of my ancestors lived here. I have ordered the the book of Henry Peet (1902) about the De Vantier, in English Wanty, family of Thorney. Page 17 is the only one I have: Pierre de Vantier was born at La Gorgue (Gorgue, Pays de l'Alleu, France) in 1637. He married (perhaps 1660-61 in Calais?) Marie la Cauve (in Denmark called Marie Labove) of Calais, born 1641 in Calais, Pas-de-Calais, France. They fled to Friesenheim in Pfalz, where they lived until the area was destroyed by the french 1689. Then they left to go to Woddow, Battin, Brandenburg, Germany, where they both died. They lived in Uckermark with other refugees. I don't yet know, who from the De Vantier family, who lived in Thorney. In Denmark the family is called Devantier. I would be happy if someone can mention other familynames from Thorney. Also information about huguenot family names in Calais area would be nice: Labove, Betacque, Hurtienne and Louison.
