Many thanks,

Hi Ian,
In churchwardens’ and constables’ accounts the refugees from Ireland were typically recorded as ‘come out of Ireland’, ‘despoiled in Ireland’, ‘Irish’, or a variety thereof. The London accounts are particularly interesting because many of the refugees are named, a few also list the value of their losses, physical injuries and where they lived in Ireland. The majority of the refugees were probably from Ulster, but there are examples of refugees from Munster and Leinster as well. I can’t remember seeing any Huguenots in the accounts, though of course I was not looking for them. I have seen examples where refugees from the Continent are described as ‘come out of Germany’ or ‘come out of Bohemia’. I hope this answers your question? – Bethany Marsh

I had a question. Were all the refugees detailed in the parish records from Ulster? Does it say as much? The reason I ask is that at the same sort of time the Huguenots in France were coming under more pressure and many, as we know, would flee to London. Is it possible that some Huguenots, or indeed other Protestant refugees from the Thirty Years’ War, are among the numbers recorded? Or are they all from Ulster?

Thank you Raymond for your positive comments from Oz which I always appreciate. It’s good to know it’s both informative and enjoyable to read, although the plaudits should go to Dr Bethany Marsh this time!
