In the "Register of the French Episcopal Church, Stonehouse" for 1694,
published by The Huguenot Society of London, Vol. XX, are the following
entries. Please help me interpret them. These are among names that are
familiar to Carolina Huguenot researchers. Do we have the (an) English
connection here?

------------------------------------------------------------

SUREAU--28 Jan. Judich Surreau, ff. de Guilliaume, et de Judich GUERIN.
Nee 20. P. Jaqs BONNET. M. Judich GUITON. Molenier, Ministre. J.
BENNOITT.

PARIOLEAU--28 Jan. Jeanne PARIOLAU, ff. de Izaac, et de Hester GUERIN.
Nee. 23. P. Samuel Pariolau. M. Jeanne MARIONNEAU. Molenier,
Ministre. Samuel Parriollau.

MASSON--18 Mars. Daniel Masson, f. dautre, et de Judich GUERINE. Ne
9. P. Daniel Delere. M. Anne Masson. Molenier, Ministre. Daniel
Delere.

I was assuming that these were baptisms with the baby's name followed by
the parents, the grandparents, the minister, and witness. But the
abbreviations throw me. I thought that the "P" stood for "Pere" or
father, and "M" for "Mere", or mother, but if so, who would the first
two people listed be?
