| 1. | Guillaume
(William) CAZALY Born c June 1728 (based on age of 96 at death) in Languedoc, France. William arrived with his mother and many siblings in London about 1745 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 IGI & 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 IGI 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." For further information see www.spitalfields.co.uk. 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 page of French records for further information on her death. William died 13 Nov 1824 age 96 yr 4 mths at Sommieres, France. (ref Nimes MPD 1822-1828, 5 Mi 14 R 13; Will Catalogue Reference: PROB 11/1701 catalogue, web site pro.gov.uk.) Ref French Death Cert and English Will; see Wills page for transcription. See page of French records for further information on his death. He was buried with his wife in his own grounds but subsequently reinterred elsewhere. |

Pierre (John Peter) CAZALY Born c1733 (ref Ancestry London Bap Marr & Bur, his burial 1806) in Languedoc, France. John Peter arrived with his mother and many siblings in London about 1745 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 IGI, 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. Burial of Jane Cazaley on 9 Oct 1791 at Christ Church, Spitalfields, abode Blossom Street, age 5-, [2nd number obscure] (ref Ancestry London Bap Marr & Bur). John Peter's burial 19 Mar 1806 at Christ Church, Spitalfields, his abode Blossom Gr, age 73 (ref Ancestry London Bap Marr & Bur). FROM WHOM FRED SHADE IS DESCENDED. |

The baptism of Sarah in 1770 has not been found but she fits the sequence here; abode at her death was King Street. No further information found for Stephen and Sarah so perhaps one or both of them died young or they may have migrated elsewhere. |

Margaret arrived with her mother and many siblings in London about 1745 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 IGI). 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].

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. There is a burial 10 Nov 1791 at Saint Matthew, Bethnal Green, of John Tourill which is probably him (ref Ancestry, Lon baps, marr & bur). Margaret's death not found in Ancestry. |

(Lewis) CAZALY Birth date in France not known. Lewis arrived with his mother and many siblings in London about 1745 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 and place him further down this family. However, that record could be inaccurate, particularly as Susanne was born in 1740. Marr 25 Dec 1767 at Saint Matthew Bethnal Green London to Susanne POUPARD as Lewis and Susanna (ref IGI). 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 IGI). 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).

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).

(Katherine) CAZALY Birth date in France not known. She was born about 1737 according to the application of John Phillip Gee to French Hospital, below but probably several years later. Catherine arrived with her mother and many siblings in London about 1745 as a result of Huguenot persecution in her homeland in France. They joined the parish of St Matthew, Bethnal Green. Marr 23 Apr 1766 at Christ Church, Spitalfields, Stepney London to Etienne (Stephen) RIVE as Katherine and Stephen (ref IGI and Ancestry London marriages). The Banns were read 16 Mar, 23 Mar, & 30 Mar of Stephen Rive and Katherine Cazaly, bachelor and spinster of the parish (ref Ancestry). Despite having a French name, there are no associated applications to the French Hospital in this name. Stephen was born c1735 according to the application of John Phillip Gee to French Hospital or c1738 according to his burial. No other information has been found. Etienne was sponsor at the baptism of both nephews Guillaume Polain in 1773 and 1775. They were living at Blossom Street in 1785 at the death of Elizabeth and by 1789 some of the family were in the Workhouse where Jane died. Burial of Stephen Rive 28 Feby 1813 at St Matthew Bethnal Green, residence Slater Str, aged 75 years (ref Ancestry London deaths).

(Jane) CAZALY Birth date in France not known but estimated about 1740 based on the ages of the children. Jane arrived with her mother and many siblings in London about 1745 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 IGI & 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. |

(John) CAZALY Birth date in France not known. Birth date in France not known. John arrived with his mother and many siblings in London about 1745 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).
