Chassereau & Huguenots

Posted by Rachel M A Payne <rach@rmapayne.demon.co.uk> on Tue, 08 Jul 2008, in response to Chassereau & Huguenots, posted by Carl Beech on Fri, 17 Aug 2001

I was surfing idly online and came across this link and I have to reply since I am aware of a connection with my own roots.
I know that a young Jacques Chasserau was "secreted in a barrel" as a stowaway on a ship to England following the St Bartholomew massacre. He obviously settled in London and was married in St Martin-in-the-Fields church in London to Anne (?) Johannot. This is what I remember in my head just now, but I do have more details I can give when I find them. My grandfather had the name Chassereau as one of his first names and I have the genealogy going back to Jacques through female lines. Please let me know if you want more details. I would also like to discover more about the Huguenot link. I benefited in some small way from a Huguenot bursary when I was at school.
Yours,
Rachel Payne
