  2. Catherine MICHEL born and bap 1761 at Lédignan, Gard, France
  
2.   Guilhaume (William) CAZALY
Birth of Guilhaume Cavalis 26 Jun 1728, bap 4 Jul 1728 at Générargues, Gard, France, son of Guilhaume Cavalis and Marguerite Colomb (ref Ancestry Gard France Births Marriages and Deaths). This matches his death at the age of 96.

William arrived with his mother and many siblings in London about 1746 as a result of Huguenot persecution in his homeland in France. They joined the parish of St Matthew, Bethnal Green.

He is listed as Godfather of nephew Moise Dumas at his baptism on 4 Sep 1754.
Guillaume Cazaly and Magdelaine Pouling are listed as Godfather and Godmother of nephew Guillaume Cazaly at his baptism on 31 May 1759.

William married (1) 2 Sep 1759 at St Matthew, Bethnal Green, London to Magdelene POLAIN (ref FamilySearch & Ancestry London marriages). The Banns were read 5 Aug, 12 Aug, & 19 Aug of William Cazaly of this parish, bachelor, and Magdalen Polain of this parish, spinster (ref Ancestry). She was born c1741 (ref Ancestry London Bap Marr & Bur, her burial) in Edinburgh. She was a daughter of Claude Adam Polain and Catherine Masse. Three Polain siblings (Magdelene, Jeanne and Absolom) married three Cazaly siblings (Guillaume or William, Jean Pierre or John Peter, and Jeanne or Jane).

BACKGROUND TO THE POLAIN/POULAIN TREE

Claude came from Templeux-le-Guérard, Somme, Picardie, France, a son of Adam Abraham Paulin and Barbe Carlier (spellings vary). They were Huguenot refugees. Catherine also came from Picardie, a daughter of Robert Masse and Anne Trotmay. They married in London but after several years they attempted to settle in Edinburgh as silk weavers and cambric makers together with many other families from Picardie. They moved again after some years to London. It has been possible to make an estimate of the birth years of the children born in Edinburgh despite having no proof of baptism. They are fully documented in the FamilySearch tree and there were at least 13 children.There are many sources online describing these families and their lives in Edinburgh and London.

William's abode in 1761 at the death of daughter Margaret was Bethnal Green (ref Ancestry London Bap Marr & Bur).
Madeleine "Cazally" is listed as Godmother of her nephew Pierre, son of Jean Pierre and Jeanne in 1762; this is probably her.

Magdalene's burial 16 Apr 1764 at Christ Church Spitalfields, her abode Wheeler Street, age 23 (ref Ancestry London Bap Marr & Bur).

William married (2) 4 July 1765 at Spitalfields, Christ Church with St Mary and St Stephen, Stepney, London to Anne Louise DUCHEMIN (the marriage rec and FS have Anne (or Ann) Lucy which was presumably a short form of her name). The record states that "William Cazaly of this Parish Widower & Ann Lucy Duchemin of the same Spinster were married in this Church by Licence this fourth Day of July in the year 1765 by me W.S. Done Curate. This marriage was solemnized between us William Cazaly Anne Lucy Duchemin in the presence of I Le Mary, Abram. Dupree." There is also a record of a Marriage Bond in Ancestry.

She was born c1744 according to her death in 1823 aged 79 (see French records). See LEVESQUE tree, page 5, for her possible descent.

William and Anne were witnesses to several of his siblings' marriages.
William's first four children died within the period 1761 to 1770 and a further one in 1772. From 1766 to 1772, the residence was always listed as Wheeler Street.

Anne Louise was a sponsor at the baptism of nephew Louis Polain in 1768.

He was listed in 1774 at the corner of Spital Square, London in the occupation of stocking manufactory, textiles (ref London Directory for 1774).
Note: "Spitalfields lies at the heart of the East End, an area known for its spirit and strong sense of community. Through out its history, it has been an area of constant change.Following the edict of Nantes in 1685, the Huguenots fled France, bringing with them the skills of silk weaving and building the once grand houses in the conservation area around Fournier Street. Today's leather and textile trades are a continuation of this earlier tradition of weaving. The Spitalfields website has many bits of information such as, Artillery Passage used to be the area used for archery and shooting practice by Henry VIII's Honourary Artillery Company."

In August/September 1777 a number of assaults took place between William Cazaly, John Peter Cazaly, Claude Jayot and Justice of the Peace Penleaze, a dispute having happened between Claude Jayot and John Peter Cazaly touching a piece of Mantua Silk, the assailants being armed in one account with pistols and cutlasses. Some documentation on the resulting court appearances are found in www.londonlives.org.
For example:
"The King on the Prosn. of Claude Jayot agt. Wm. Cazaly for an Assault. Bail on a Plea of Not Guilty.
Robert Pollain of Old Cock Lane in the Parish of St. Mathew Bethnal Green in the Co. of Middx Weaver and Absolom Pollain of Slaughter Street in the same Weaver." (ref www.londonlives.org)

He was listed in 1784 and 1785 at No. 1, Norton Falgate, London, in the occupation of hosier, clothing (ref Bailey's British Directory). (Refs listed in Ancestry.) His abode was Norton Falgate at burial of dau Charlotte in 1778 and son Benjamin in 1785. He was elected a Director of the French Protestant Hospital on 1 Oct 1800 at La Providence, Bath Street (ref Wagner Papers).

In her application to the French Hospital, Maria Pepper described him as "William Cazaly, a French Refugee, late of Spital Square and for many years Elder of the French Protestant Church, St. John Street, Brick Lane .." and her nephew John Phillip Gee used almost exactly the same words in his application.

He made a fortune before returning to France at the age of 80 and purchasing the Chateau du Pied Bouquet which was owned by the family earlier. The Chateau fell out of the family when his grandson sold it in 1859. (Ref. notes by Robert Nash.)

Anne died 17 Sep 1823 at Puech Bouquet, Sommieres, France, aged 79. See following French documentation.
"l'an 1823 et le 17 septembre par devant nous Barthélemy PEYRE, adjoint à la mairie de Sommières remplissant la fonction d'officier d'état civil, sont comparus les sieurs Pierre Barthélemy CADET fils écrivain âgé de 26 ans et Gabriel RAZAN revendeur âgé de 39 ans, tous deux habitants de cette ville, lesquels nous ont déclaré que ce matin à 8 heure dans la métairie de Puech Bouquet situé sur le territoire de cette ville est décédée Anne Louise DUCHEMIN âgée de septante neuf ans (79 ans) épouse de Guillaume CAZALY propriétaire et habitant de la dite métairie de Puech Bouquet.

Birth of Jeanne Casalis 27 Jul 1730, bap 1 Aug 1730 at Générargues, Gard, France, dau of Guilhaume Casalis and Margueritte Colomb (ref Ancestry Gard France Births Marriages and Deaths).

Jane arrived with her mother and many siblings in London about 1746 as a result of Huguenot persecution in her homeland in France. They joined the parish of St Matthew, Bethnal Green. She is listed as Jane in her marriage and Jeanne in the baptism of her children.

Marr 11 May 1761 at Saint Matthew Bethnal Green London to Absalom POLAIN (ref FS & Ancestry London marriages). The Banns were read 19 Apr, 26 Apr, & 3 May of Absalom [spelt Absolam] Polain of this parish, bachelor, and Jane Cazaly, spinster (ref Ancestry). He was called Abraham in the baptism of children Catherine in 1762 and Abraham in 1765.

Absalom was born or baptised 1 Mar 1731/32, Saint Cuthberts, Edinburgh, Scotland, son of Claud Polain and Catharin Mass. Absalom's family came from Picardie, Seine Maritime (80), France originally. Three Polain siblings (Magdelene, Jeanne and Absolom) married three Cazaly siblings (Guillaume or William, Jean Pierre or John Peter, and Jeanne or Jane).

For a background to the Polain/Poulain tree, see the entry above for Guillaume.

Absalom Polain is listed as Godfather of nephew Absolom Dumas at his baptism on 4 Sep 1757, assuming it refers to this person.

In 1772, Absolom Polain & Janne Cazaley were sponsers for the baptism of nephew Etienne Rive.

In 1774, Absalom Polain and Jean Pierre Cazaly, weaver, his brother-in-law above, stood as Guarantors for the admission to the lunatics' house, "les petittes Maisons" French Protestant Hospital, of Jacob Carlier of the Parish of St Mathew Bethnal Green [Volume 52, Huguenot Soc of London, Quarto Series].

Burial of Absalom Poulain 17 Nov 1799 at St Matthew Bethnal Green, no further details (ref Ancestry London Bap, Marr, Bur). On the same date and place there is a burial of Peter Poulain which is very likely his son Pierre.

Marr Pierre Moise DUMAS. The marriage has not been found but the baptisms of the children give his full name, and the various godparents show his relationship to the Cazaly family.

Madelaine Dumas was sponsor at the baptism of her nephew Abraham Poulain in 1765.

Burial of Magdalene Dumas on 24 May 1765 at Christ Church, Spitalfields, aged 34, abode Wheeler Street (ref Ancestry Bap Marr & Bur).

5.   Jean Pierre (John Peter) CAZALY
Bap of Jean Pierre Casalis 30 Apr 1733 at Générargues, Gard, France, son of Guilhaume Casalis and Margueritte Colomb (ref Ancestry Gard France Births Marriages and Deaths). This matches his age at burial.

John Peter arrived with his mother and many siblings in London about 1746 as a result of Huguenot persecution in his homeland in France. They joined the parish of St Matthew, Bethnal Green.

Pierre Cazaly and Jeanne Paulin are listed as Godfather and Godmother of niece Jeanne Dumas at her baptism on 19 Feb 1756. Pierre Cazaly is listed as Godfather of niece Marguerite Dumas at her baptism on 5 Jul 1759.

Marr 8 May 1757 at St Matthew Bethnal Green London to Jeanne (Jane) POULAIN (or POLAIN) (ref FS, Ancestry London marriages). The record states "John Peter Cazalie of this Parish Bachelor and Jane Polain of this Parish Spinster were married in this Church by Banns this 8th day of May 1757 by me [?] Curate. This marriage was solemnized between us Jean Pierre Cazaly, the mark of Jane Cazaly late Polain in the presence of John Brisscony, John Mobley". The record states that the Banns were read for the marriage between John Peter Cazalie of this Parish Bachelor and Jane Polain of this Parish Spinster on 6 Mar, 13 Mar, 20 Mar 1757 (ref Ancestry London Marriages).

She was a daughter of Claude Adam Polain and Catherine Masse. Three Polain siblings (Magdelene, Jeanne and Absolom) married three Cazaly siblings (Guillaume or William, Jean Pierre or John Peter, and Jeanne or Jane). For an estimate of her birth in Scotland, her last child being born in 1779, say at 45, would give her birth at 1734, or if she married at 18, as late as 1739. The link has been proved by the DNA relationship between a descendant of Jeanne Polain and one of her brother Robert, thus confirming the common Poulain parentage.

For a background to the Polain/Poulain tree, see the entry above for Guillaume.

On 10 Dec 1767 duties were paid for apprentices' indentures by Jno Crampton to John Peter Cazaly, Weaver, residence Christchurch Middlesex (ref Ancestry).

Listed (as Jean Pierre Casallis) as Godfather at the baptism of Jean Pierre Toureille in 1768 and of Jean Rive in 1771.

In 1772 it seems that he was witness to an assault, documented in Middlesex Sessions: Justices' Working Documents:
"Middx. The King agst Samuel Hull On the prosecution of John Green for an Assault.
John Peter Cazaly of Slaughter Street in the County of Middlesex Gentleman Maketh Oath and saith that on the day of the date within mentioned did see John Green duly Execute the within General Release and that the Names Thomas Griffiths and John Peter Cazaly as Subscribing Witnesses thereto are of the proper and respective hands Writing of the said Thomas Griffiths and of him this Deponent.
Sworn at Hicks Hall in Saint John Street the 16th day of Janry 1772. Jhon Peter Cazaly.
By the Court. W. Butler." (ref www.londonlives.org)

In 1774, Jean Pierre Cazaly, weaver, and Absalom Polain, his brother-in-law below, stood as Guarantors for the admission to the lunatics' house, "les petittes Maisons" French Protestant Hospital, of Jacob Carlier of the Parish of St Mathew Bethnal Green [Volume 52, Huguenot Soc of London, Quarto Series].

In August/September 1777 a number of assaults took place between William Cazaly (above), John Peter Cazaly, Claude Jayot and Justice of the Peace Penleaze, a dispute having happened between Claude Jayot and John Peter Cazaly touching a piece of Mantua Silk. Some documentation on the resulting court appearances are found in www.londonlives.org.

The abode of son James in 1775 listed at his death as Church Street (ref Ancestry London Bap Marr & Bur).
The abode of daughter Margaret in 1779 listed at her death as Church Street (ref Ancestry London Bap Marr & Bur).

In her application to the French Hospital, his granddaughter Louisa states that her grandfather was an Elder of the French Church, St. John St., Brick Lane, Spitalfields.

Birth of Jean Cazalis 12 Oct 1734, bap 24 Oct 1734 at Générargues, Gard, France, son of Guilhaume Cazalis and Margueritte Colomb (ref Ancestry Gard France Births Marriages and Deaths).

John arrived with his mother and many siblings in London about 1746 as a result of Huguenot persecution in his homeland in France. They joined the parish of St Matthew, Bethnal Green. The baptism of his wife in 1739 suggests he was born earlier than 1739.

Married 17 Sep 1760 at Shoreditch St Leonard of John Cazli to Ann BRICKMAN; the records which is written by the Curate states "John Cazli of this Parish Batchelor and Ann Brickman of this parish Spinster were married in this Church by Banns this seventeenth day of September in the year 1760 by me Joseph Cookson (Curate). This marriage was solemnized between us John Cazli X his mark, Ann Brickman X her mark, in the presence of John Munns, William Burgess" (ref Ancestry London Marriages).

Baptism of Anne: "1739 Ann Daughter of [?] Brickman and - his wife was baptized December 23rd" at St Mary the Virgin, Harefield, Middlesex (ref Ancestry London Bap Marr & Bur).

Their residence in 1762 at the baptism of son John at St Leonard, Shoreditch looks like "Hebbs Square". In 1768 Ann's surname was given as 'BRIDGEMAN'.

In 1785 there is the marriage at St Mary's, Whitechapel of a Mary Ann Cazaly aged 19, with permission given as a minor by her widowed mother Ann. I am assuming she fits into this family.

Deaths of John and Ann not found.

Birth of Marguerite Casalis 14 Mar 1736, bap 18 Mar 1736 at Générargues, Gard, France, dau of Guillaume Casalis and Marguerite (ref Ancestry Gard France Births Marriages and Deaths).

Margaret arrived with her mother and many siblings in London about 1746 as a result of Huguenot persecution in her homeland in France. They joined the parish of St Matthew, Bethnal Green.

Mlle. Marguerite Cazali is listed as Godmother of nephew Absolom Dumas at his baptism on 4 Sep 1757, and of Louis, son of Paul and Antoinette Toureille, in 1759. In Ancestry Public Trees Paul Toureille is listed as the elder brother of John Toureille (and also in notes by Nigel Prevost in 1979).

Marr 11 Jul 1762 at St Matthews Bethnal Green London to John TOUREILLE (ref FamilySearch).
The Banns of the marriage between Margaret Cazaly, spinster, and John Toureille, bachelor, both of the parish, were read on 6, 13 & 20 Jun 1762 at Saint Matthew, Bethnal Green (ref Ancestry London marriages). The marriage took place on 11 July 1762 at St Matthew, Bethnal Green: No 269. John Tourieil [misspelt and indexed as Tourceil] of this Parish, Batchelor, and Marguerite Cazely [indexed as Casely] of this Parish, Spinster were married in this church by Banns this eleventh Day of July in the Year One Thousand Seven Hundred and sixty two by me, Samuel Beuzeville (Clerk). This marriage was solemnized between Us [obscure] Jhon Toureill + [no signature] in the Presence of John Brisscony & William Cazaly [probably her brother]. [Samuel Beuzeville and John Brisscony also occur as players in the Levesque tree.]

Research has shown that the most likely birth for John Toureille was on 11 Jul 1741, baptised 16 Jul 1741 at Nimes, Gard, France as Jean, son of Paul Toureille and Antoinette Leonard; Paul was son of Jean Toureille and Rose Clavel, and Antoinette was dau of Jeon Leonard and Francoise Olivier (ref various Ancestry records). It is very likely that John, his mother and siblings escaped from France as Huguenots, as Marguerite did; this is confirmed by the comment below; his father probably came separately. See FamilySearch for his probable family.

Marguerite was a sponsor at the baptism of nephew Guillaume Polain in 1773.

In her application to the French Hospital, daughter Mary Esther states she was a daughter of John Tourelle of Brick Lane Bethnal Green and Margaret Cazaly.
In Sarah Tourell's application to the French Hospital, she states that the Tourell Family were Huguenots from Nimes.

John was buried 10 Nov 1791 at Saint Matthew, Bethnal Green (ref Ancestry, Lon baps, marr & bur). His Will is given online in Ancestry.
Margaret's death not found in Ancestry. She was alive at the writing of John's Will.

11.   Louis (Lewis) CAZALY
Birth date in France not known but presumably about 1745. His baptism not found in Gard records in France.

Lewis arrived with his mother and many siblings in London about 1746 as a result of Huguenot persecution in his homeland in France. They joined the parish of St Matthew, Bethnal Green. Going by the shipping record in 1774, he was born c1746 which would make him a baby on arrival.

Marr 25 Dec 1767 at Saint Matthew Bethnal Green London to Susanne POUPARD as Lewis and Susanna (ref FS). The Banns were read between Lewis Cazly [sic] Batchelor, and Susanna Poupard Spinster, both of this Parish, on 25 Oct 1767, 1 Nov 1767, 8 Nov 1767 (ref Ancestry). The marriage record reads "Lewis Cazly of this Parish Batchelor and Susanna Poupard of this parish Spinster were married in this church by Banns published Oct 25th Nov 1st Nov 8th 1767 this twenty fifty day of December in the year 1767 by me Haddon Smith Curate. This marriage was solemnized between us Lewis Cazaly Susannah Poupard in the presence of Andrew Poupard Ph. Ja. May (ref Ancestry London Marriages).

Susanne was born 28 Sep 1740, bap 29 Sep 1740 at Wheeler Street French Huguent, Spitalfields, London, dau of Pierre Poupard and Susanne (ref FS).

Louis was a sponsor at the baptism of nephew Louis Polain in 1768.

After the birth of the three children, there is a record that Lewis emigrated from London in 1774 to Granada, aged 28. The source of the information in Ancestry is as follows:
"COLDHAM, PETER WILSON. The Complete Book of Emigrants, 1751-1776. A comprehensive listing compiled from English public records of those who took ship to the Americas for political, religious, and economic reasons; of those who were deported for vagrancy, roguery, or non-conformity; and of those who were sold to labour in the new colonies. Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1993. 349p."

The Caribbean island of Grenada had a turbulent history. Shortly before this time, Grenada had been a French Colony, but it was formally ceded to Britain by the Treaty of Paris in 1763. The French recaptured the island during the American War of Independence some time after 1779. It is very likely that Lewis was involved in some of these wars and it is possible that he went to work as a surgeon.

Daughter Louise's abode at her death as a child in 1779 was Pelham Street (ref Ancestry London Bap Marr & Burials).

In son William's Will of 1792, his mother was specified as the beneficiary and Executrix, in the name of Susannah Cazaly of St Leonard Shoreditch Middlesex.

Susanne Cazaly nee Poupard seems to have been admitted to "La Providence" on 1 Dec 1810 as 'elderly of 68 years, very infirm of purpose, once a member of the Church of London', on the recommendation of Louis Mercier Pasteur, Moise Dumas, G. Cazaly, Francois Jolit (ref applications to "La Providence" French Protestant Hospital).

"CAZALY, Susanne, née Poupard. Inmate. e. [elected] Dec.1, 1810 (L: [Steward's Log-book] Dec.12). B/A [to whom given the Billet d'Admission] "a Mr. Bernard". d. [died] June 24, 1814.

Cazaly, Francois Jolit [at side:] Admise le 1er Deceme 1810"." [Huguenot Quarto Series Vol 52]

Burial of Susanna Cazaly on 28 Jun 1814 at Saint Luke, Old Street, Islington, Middlesex, aged 72; her abode was the French Hospital (ref Ancestry London Burials under Cozaly). French Hospital records have: "Susanne Cazaly nee Poupard e 1 Dec 1810, d Jun 24 1814".
