There are still many records in Ireland, but you have to dig deep for them sometimes. When I was in Cork, Ireland, last year, researching mainly my Huguenot CLEMENT ancestors there, I copied from Caulfield's manuscripts at the University 's Special Collections these details: In 1694, when Robt Goble was Master of the Goldsmiths, the two wardens were Walter BURNETT and Richard CLEMENT. ( This Richard Clement is not listed on two other lists of Goldsmiths in Cork for some reason. The people in the warden positions seem to have changed every year at this time. In 1695, Goldsmiths' wardens that year were Walter HUET and William Harvey (with Robt Goble still as Master).



I think you need to recognise that Huguenots, moved around the whole of Ireland sometimes looking for desirable locations to settle in. Interestingly, Grace Lawless Lee's The Huguenot Settlements in Ireland (1936) does not mention the name HUET but neither does she mention the CLEMENT family, possibly because they were not French aristocrats.
