Hi Robert

My ancestor on my mother's side was John Sully a weaver who married a Huguenet, Susannah Eude in Christchurch Spitalfields East London in 1774. I have established that Susannah's grandfather was Jacques Eude who came to England from the Coutances area of Normandy in about 1685/90. I have not yet been able to trace John Sully's parents - there are rumours that they may have been Huguenots who came to London in the earlier persecution in th 1580's but so far no proof. The Sully name I have found mainly in two places 1) in North Somerset around Minehead and they seem to have come from the village of Sully (founded by a Norman knight called Sully) in Wales just across the Bristol channel and 2) In London but with some sightings in Cambridgeshire and limited ones in Norfolk Suffolk and Essex. The Market Harborough link is not one I have met yet but I'd be glad to hear about it. The varietsal Sulley is common amongst the London branch. Look forward ot hearing from you. Robin Moore
