Dear Phyl and others

I am interested in huguenot family names livning in Thorney, because I don't
know how many of my ancestors lived here. I have ordered the the book of
Henry Peet (1902) about the De Vantier, in English Wanty, family of Thorney.
Page 17 is the only one I have: Pierre de Vantier was born at La Gorgue
(Gorgue, Pays de l'Alleu, France) in 1637. He married (perhaps 1660-61 in
Calais?) Marie la Cauve (in Denmark called Marie Labove) of Calais, born
1641 in Calais, Pas-de-Calais, France. They fled to Friesenheim in Pfalz,
where they lived until the area was destroyed by the french 1689. Then they
left to go to Woddow, Battin, Brandenburg, Germany, where they both died.
They lived in Uckermark with other refugees. I don't yet know, who from the
De Vantier family, who lived in Thorney. In Denmark the family is called
Devantier.
I would be happy if someone can mention other familynames from Thorney. Also
information about huguenot family names in Calais area would be nice:
Labove, Betacque, Hurtienne and Louison.
