Spitalfields Christ Church,Stepney,London. I believe Elizabeth’s parents were
John Vallerin and Esther Saubere. Esther was born in 1762 LA Patente French Huguenot,Spitalfields,London and married in 1785. I believe Esther’s father was Joseph Saubere who was married to Ann Fremont. Do you have these names on your map please?

My wife and I were fortunate enough to visit Spitalfields last year(2014) and were given a tour of Christ Church and the immediate area by Stanley Rondeau. We share a common ancestor in Jean Rondeau and thanks to the genealogical research of my oldest daughter, Debbie Bulloc, we were able to make the connection with Stanley. We intend to visit London again this year and hopefully will be able to re-visit Spitalfields.

Once again, thanks and congratulations on the continuing efforts that many of you are responsible for.

At this point in time, I know that my relatives lived in Spitalfields, but only for approximately 6 months prior to coming to the United States. Of course, there was no United States at that point in time. Their passage documents were dated Mar 10, 1708 from the mayor of Billigheim, Germany. They went up the Rhine to Rotterdam prior to coming to London.

The family name was Ferree. Most of my documents are in beautiful script French, but I do also know that they lived in Lyon and Strasbourg, France. Daniel, the father, was listed as a silk weaver, etc., but when the sons arrived in New York, the sons are listed as husbandmen and vineyard keepers. The father died prior to leaving Germany/France. Marie (de la Warembere) Ferree stayed with her six children in Spitalfields until William Penn’s surveyor had land ready for them in Pennsylvania.

Is there someway that I can find a location where they might have lived? I could not read the family names. I do know some other names of folks that they knew. Perhaps that will help me when I get the map and really investigate it.

I love England and am usually there a couple of times a year.

Any information as to where they lived would be greatly appreciated. Where could I go in London to find a location? I visited the British Archives/Huguenot at the Kew in March, but I had to ask for “boxes,” two weeks prior to my coming, and I really did not know what to ask for. I spent 3 hours digging through correspondence, but I think that I did not get the correct information.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

Question: Is there any way you can put up the map so we can read the names and information within the circles? The enlargement is lovely but I still can’t read names. Saving and viewing/enlarging doesn’t work either.
It would be wonderful to read the names (and I’m guessing occupations are included on the circles?) of those who lived there. Could lead to more leads.
Thanks for considering, and for a great blog!

When is exact last date to view? What will happen to it after that date?
Well done everyone
