Reading your poignant notice in Wednesday's Times Register prompted this message. I responded to Wendy's posting in the EoLFHS "Cockney Ancestor" magazine for links to the Gaucheron name. We corresponded, finding that our families were not only linked through descent from Louis G, but also more recently by ties to Loughton. The idea to hold the first Gathering sprang from a meeting over lunch in Spitalfields in the summer of 2007. We met several times at Spitalfields and Huguenot Society events and I looked forward to news of Wendy's Huguenot related visits to France and her lovely Christmas cards. Sincere condolences, Doreen and John Furby
