WB, sorry to be serious for a moment but have you come across a family called CASSANET, perhaps a Pierre Vincent C, maybe Visconte (maybe Marquis) de CASSANNETT, whilst you've been trawling though the Vendee Revolt?

He's supposed to have fled the Vendee for England after the rebels were put back in their box, where he was given a state pension by Pitt to maintain him - that's the family story anyway.

Hello Tony,

Are you a friend of Martyn Guy who just ordered one of my books? He asked exactly the same question.

I have not come across the guy you mentioned in reference to the Vendée though a web trawl suggests he was of an aristocratic family which fled France and settled in London at the time of the Revolution.

But those were chaotic times, people came and went and many records were destroyed or not kept by both sides.

I will however keep my eyes and ears open for the name.
