Does any of our readers have either of the names HOLLOWAY or LE SERF in
their family tree?
Benjamin HOLLOWAY and Sarah LE SERF married at St. Leonard's, Shoreditch in
1780. Family tradition passed on says that there were Hueguenots but when
and where is still a mystery.

Are there any known descendants of Hueguenots who have maintained a
protestant faith? Does it mean as much to them today as it did 400 yrs ago?
Have the traditional trades such as lace making that meant so much to the
English economy, been maintained within the families?
