“Spitalfields
SPITALFIELDS derives it's name from a hospital known as St Mary Spital, originally founded as a priory in 1197.

The City of London established its wholesale vegetable market in the area during the late 17th century [only relocated in 1989], at a time when the north and east of the City was still largely open countryside. The new hamlet of Spitalfields was created by Parliament in 1729, the year of Christ Church's completion and consecration. The close association of the clothing trade with Spitalfields started with the Huguenots who, fleeing Catholic France in the 1680's, brought prosperity to the area through silk. From the late 19th century onwards, Jewish refugees from Russia and Eastern Europe dominated the clothing workshops.”

Lots of Chauvel or Chevell christened in St James, Westminister and other French churches around that area in

Huguenot Library UCL

"The two principal repositories of Huguenot records are the Huguenot Library and the French Protestant
Church of London in Soho Square. In many ways the two archives complement each other and no search
would be complete without searching both. The records are hand written in French but once you have
mastered the key words, you should be able"


"Poor relief records of the Threadneedle Street archive
By far the largest Huguenot church in London was Threadneedle Street, including its daughter church of
L’Eglise Neuve in Spitalfields. Their combined archive is kept at their present day successor, The French
Protestant Church of London (FPCL) in Soho Square. See Quarto Series 55. Many of its archives have
been filmed and a full set of the microfilm are available for consultation at the Huguenot Library."

Does anyone hold records for the above church? I am looking for records of the Chauvel (Shovell) family late 1600s and early 1700s. In particular a Frances Chauvel born c1700 who married a John Bartlett of Bristol c1725(place unknown). Her uncle was a John Chauvell who died in1747.
