Hello Martin -- I have no connection to the DELACHAUX surname but I thought you might be interested to know that the Surnames List on the Huguenots-Walloons-Europe mailing list website has an entry for someone who is researching DELACHAUX, DELESCHAUX, DELECHAT & etc 1650s
Gilly,
Canton Vaud, Switzerland and 1740s
London. You can find that listing and the name/address of the person who submitted it at:
http://www.island.net/~andreav/adnames.htmThat same person also posted several messages to the list about her research when she was a subscriber (she is no longer). You can access those messages in the Searchable list archives, also through the website at:
http://www.island.net/~andreav/archives.htm (type in keyword DELACHAUX and that should get you to them. Make sure to look in each year, ie. 2000-2002, and try all variants as keywords to find them all.)
Spitalfields was certainly an area for
Huguenot silkweavers. In which
Huguenot records did you find Suzanne DELECHAUX?
Hope this helps and good luck. Andrea (admin of Huguenots-Walloons-Europe mailing list & Message Board)
