I n ancient times there were eight localities in Normandy
which bore the name 'Beuzeville', thus it is difficult to
determine exactly where family ancestors originated from.
However, geographically it seems likely that the family
would have originated from a
location close to the places
where the families of spouses were living. In family
documents and genealogies place names recur which include Pont Audemer, Quilleboeuf, Gruchet la Vallase, Melamere, and
Bolbec. This gives weight to the assumption that
Beuzeville-la-Grenier may be the place of
the
family's roots. Further research is taking place in an
effort to find reliable evidence about the original location of the
branch of the Beuzeville family which is the subject of this
paper.
The
Chateau at Beuzeville-la-Grenier was made uninhabitable by
its owner just prior to World War II. Today, the ruins are
magical: overgrown with creepers and surrounded by birch
trees. However, one can still see the large fireplaces, the
entrance, and the remains of the beautiful stone sculpturing
of the edifice.
About 1709-1710 Jaques Beuzeville with his wife
Marie Ann Guillemard, and their eldest child, Huguenot
refugees, escaped from France to England.
Their second son, Pierre was born in London about 1712. They
then returned to France, and several more children were born
there. They moved to London again before 1728 and Jaques
commenced a
silk manufactory
at Spitalfields.
