Soir Tony,

Hmm ah yes..East London..and you attended the School of Life huh Hmmm :)

> Educated close to St Botolph's

And thank you for putting me in the middle of an intersection ! Just how am I to saely negotiate traffic while researching an ancestor ? With care, one would suggest

Meantime... the quandry of how does a Catholic church become a Huguenot place of records and then become a Jewish place of worship ? Is there a connection between them all in this case ?

I have often wondered just how a supposedly good Catholic family, which most of our Huguenot ancestors were prior to the Reformation, ended up with commonly used names prevalent in Judaism, such as Esther, Abraham, Jacob etc. ?

I am sure that Zwingli, Luther et al would have frowned upon such a thing ?



Kind Regards,
Peter Leroy
