She was, I believe, the daughter of Peter Delamare a silk thrower, of Steward Street, Spitalfields, and she was baptized 4 May, 1735 at the French Huguenot Church in Threadneedle Street. I have read that Delamare was a very distinguished name in the English silk weaving business so I am planning to research the name this year.

It’s also where one of the two biggest bands in British punk, the Sex Pistols, were brought together by the other co-owner, Malcolm McLaren. Spring Gardens (1868–1871); 12 Savile Row (1871–1882); 107 Piccadilly (1882–1927); 69 Brook Street (current) Fleet Prison was primarily a debtors prison and stood on the east bank of the Fleet River in what is now Farringdon Street, London. The marriages performed at the Fleet involved all classes from London and the surrounding counties, but mainly catered for artisans, farmers, labourers and craftsmen from the poorer parishes of London, soldiers (including Chelsea Pensioners), and particularly sailors. King's Bench Prison was located on the east side of Borough High Street in Southwark. As with the Fleet, the majority of prisoners were debtors. Relatively few marriages were performed in the Prison itself, and by the 1740s, those marriages which had been performed in the Mint began to be held at the Fleet. The King's Bench and the Mint, because of their location, tended to attract a high proportion of couples from Kent and Surrey. By 1880 the Beavers family had moved to the industrial North East of England where they generally found employment in the shipbuilding industry of Tyneside and Wearside.Chelsea Old Church, halfway along, is also well worth a visit. A fine statue of the English martyr St Thomas More, who sang in the choir there, sits outside. I recently discovered that there are a lot of ‘Dede’, French Huguenots in Spitalfields area and i am now investigating this as a potential ancestry. Unfortunately given the change in location and name i cannot prove a recorded link (there was a John Dede born in 1775 to Pierre and Eliz. but he is recorded as having died the same year, an un-recorded additional son by the same name?). born in Kirkharle, Northumberland in 1715. Young Lancelot was educated at Cambo School, before serving as a gardener's boy in the service of Sir William Loraine. From there he moved on to Wotton, owned by Sir Richard Grenville.
