Silk Weavers named Collier
The Hugeunot Residents of Spitalfields
Names Index
Spitalfields Silk Industry
There were hundreds and thousands of people employed in the Spitalfields Silk Industry.
One of my aims has been to list the names of as many weavers etc as possible.
Contents
This article has 11. Sections:
1. Map showing Huguenot Residents in Spitalfields including Silk Weavers (Lists 1 and 2) 2. The Weavers Arms 3. The Spitalfields Riots 4. Anna Maria Garthwaite 5. Life & Death in Spitalfields 6.

Names Indexes
In summary, there are actually 6 Names Indexes;
List 3 Weavers & Others in Adam Dant and Margaret Cox's books (from Not 6)
List 4 Weavers on a Message Board
List 5 List of members of the Royal Lustring Company
List 6 List of Weavers etc in Margaret Cox's medical paper
I am sorry that I have not amalgamated the information into one list!
1. Map showing Huguenot Residents including Silk Weavers
In his book, Maps of London & Beyond, Adam Dant lists approx 350 Huguenots or descendants of Huguenots.
I have typed these names up as:
- an alphabetical index with reference to a following register in numerical order, from the book.
An asterisk has been added to the first index to denote those involved in the Silk Weaving Industry:
I have analysed the Names Index separately:
I do apologise for any transcription errors.

Notes:
There is a lot of information about individuals oline, which bring a simple list of people to life.
1. There are some interesting items in an article published by British History Online:
A.Manufacturers/Masters
The Guillebauds (193), Desormeaux (128, 224/5) and Chauvets (151) are listed as Manufacturers/Masters, who can trace their connection withe refugees of 1685.
B.Black Silk (Desormeaux 225, Duthoit 77)
In 1713, it was stated that silks, gold and silver stuffs, and ribbons were made here, as good as those of French fabric, and that black silk for hoods and scarves was made actually worth three hundred thousand pounds.
According to the Victoria & Albert Museum, James Lewis Desormeaux (225) was a weaver:
Britsh History Online gives more information about the Desormeaux Family:"Nos. 15 and 16 Calvin Street
Formerly No. 15 Great Pearl Street
This building was probably erected between 1809 and 18l2. Between at least 1773 and 1803 a building on this site was occupied by James Lewis Desormeaux, a black-silk dyer, who succeeded Abraham Desormeaux, also a dyer.
In 1786 he acquired the freehold of the house and dyehouse on the site from the widow of Edward Williams of Bishopsgate Street.
In May 1809 Desormeaux conveyed the house and dyehouse to Isabella and Francis (later Sir Francis) Des Anges, dyer.
2. Weavers' Arms (Butfoy 75)
There is quite a bit about the Weaver's Arms and Truman's Black Eagle Brewery online:
The Weaver's Arms was at 17 Hanbury Street in Spitalfields (formerly 29 Browns Lane) and was demolished for the expansion of the Truman's Black Eagle Brewery.
Truman's Black Eagle Brewery
As you would expect, there is a lot about the Brewery online!
3. The Spitalfield Riots
I knew that there were riots over wage levels, working conditions, mechanisation and the importation of foreign silks.
The Bristol Radical History Group published a very detailed account of the silk industry and the rioting and violence that occurred:
Lewis Chauvet (151)
In 1769, one silk boss had severe problems from rioting weavers, known as the "cutters". It was Lewis Chauvet whose factory stood in Crispin Street.
Chauvet was a leading manufacturer of silk handkerchiefs and opposed union membership.
Large groups of weavers assembled in gangs and went to the homes of Chauvet's workers, cutting the silk in more than fifty looms and four nights later more than a hundred looms.
I came across 2 interesting quotes online:
"The producers (of silk garments) were the thousands of men, women and children in the East End:
winding
throwing
dyeing
weaving
drawing
cutting
designing
stitching
in hundreds of attics and garrets."
"It's worth remembering that the silk trade consisted of many different levels of manufacture: there were many masters, operating just above the journeymen, sub-contracting for large manufacturers like Chauvet."
4. 102. Anna Maria Garthwaite 1690-1763
2 Princelet Street
Her occupation was not given in the register but it turns out that she was a leading silk designer; in fact the "pre-eminent silk designer of her period".
5. The book: Life and Death in Spitalfields 1700- 1850 by Margaret Cox
This is a repeat of the entry in the separate Names Index Analysis
There is a wealth of information about Spitalfields and the Silk Industry on the internet, including this extraordinary book.
It mentions many people involved in the silk industry and their ancestors & where they lived.
She looked at a sample of residents only.
1. The majority of first-generation Huguenots fled in or shortly after 1685.
2. Many families involved in the silk industry, including the Mesmans, first settled in Canterbury but later moved to Spitalfields.
3. The Ogier family, hoiwever, fled to England in the 18th Century. Pierre Ogier II arrived with his young children in 1739, his older children having left France earlier.
Many families resorted to smuggling their children out of France and the Ogier family were reputedly transported with potatoes!
4. By the 19th Century, Huguenots were marrying into the host generation. An example of this is John Desormeaux who married Ann Watts in 1802.
In the French churches...the French language was neglected. Sarah Hurlin nee Marchant (1765-1839) was however taught to read and speak French.
5. Charles Shaw Lefevre M.A. received a university education.
A son of Daniel Mesman went to Cambridge and became a Parson. Another son Daniel (1762-1834) was a major benefactor of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge.
6. The Hurlin Family (88 & 235)
William Hurlin's parents were silk weavers and William learnt to weave.
William worked at winding before school.
His father wove figured silk.
William was a (more highly-paid) porter at a silk manufacturer for several years but later returned home to weave.
7. There were second marriages for financial, security and companionship reasons. John Chavalier and his wife Magdalene both married for the second time in May 1740 at the ages of 50 and 55 respectively.
Magdalene's son Louis Chauvet had been apprenticed to John, a successful master weaver in 1723.
Louis married John's daughter Jane in April 1740.
8. Sarah Hurlin nee Marchant married Martin Hurlin, an illiterate journeyman weaver at St Anne's Limehouse in 1786.
Mrs Sarah Hurlin gave birth to her first child Sarah in the Lying-in-Hospital, City Road.
It is also known that some of the children born into the Prevost family (also journeymen weavers) were born in Lying-in-hospitals.
9. The Ogier Family (183)
Louisa Perina Ogier from Poitou was the daughter of a wealthy silk merchant Pierre Ogier II.
The Ogier Family settled in Sptalfields and became one of the most important and successful silk-manfacturing dynasties in London.
Louisa married Samuel Courtauld, Goldsmith in 1749.
10. The book includes a detailed Family Tree for the Mesman & Lemaistre Families.
11. Close family links existed:
Example
Jean Lambert
Abraham, Gamage
Thomas Sorel
Peter Merzeau
each married one of the daughters of Jean and Rachel Jeanne Maze
12. The most popular prestigious address in the area in the 18th Century was Spital Square.
Some of the "silk" families living there included:
the Mesman
Bennett
Roy
Bredell
Sorel
Jordain and
Ogier families.
The captions for the 3 photos are:
1. Church St (now Fournier St)- leading to Christ Church, Spitalfields c 1900
Families such as:
Chabot
Covenant
Gamage
Jervis
Lefevre
Roy and
da la Chaumette
lived in these substantial houses
2. Part of Spital Square c 1935,
the most prestigious addresse in the 18th Century
3. Top rooms in Steward and Fort Streets
13. Second was Wood Street later known as Wilkes Street with the LeMaistre family, successful master weavers, related by marriage and business partners.
14. Princes Street, later known as Princelet Street was the third most popular address during the 18th Century.
Less affluent but acceptable addresses were:
Crispin Street
Red Lyon Street and
Pater Noster Row.
The poor journeymen weavers lived in less affluent areas of Spitalfields and in Bethnal Green (like Charles Collier).
15. The peak of the Huguenot contribution to the craft was in the 1740s and 50s. Names such as:
Desormeaux
Godin
Lemaistre and
Ogier
dominated the Weaver's Company at this time.
16. The first process applied to the raw silk was throwing - twisting the raw silk into yarn. Most throwsters lived in Whitechapel and many had workshops adjoining their homes.
17. Dyeing followed throwing. Dyers lived in the more affluent parts of the Parish such as Red Lyon Court and Princes Street. Edward Peck was a scarlet dyer.
18. Pattern Drawers (e.g. Anna Marie Garthwaite) sold their designs to the master weavers (e.g. Peter Ogier) who produced the patterned silk. Christophern Baudouin was a very successful designer.
19. Master weavers and their journeymen usually specialised in the production of one type of silk. Daniel Mesman and his sons produced black silk and velvets. (145 & 179)
John Rondeau produced flowered silk as did the firm Maze and Ogier. (183)
20. The estate of Edward Peck was valued at over £40,000, which was eventually inherited by the Peck/Ladbroke family and invested in banking and country estates, evident among many of the descendants of the successful silk merchants.
21. In 1716, Huguenots founded and funded "La Providence", the French Hospital later situated in Rochester, Kent.

9. Foreign Lustrings and Clandestine Trade (List 5)
There is a long account of cases of Foreign Lustrings& Clandestine Trade in British History Online.
In the House of Commons Journal Volume 12 16 April 1698 there is a lis of members of the Royal Lustring Company in 1696.
The list includes the number of looms operated by members, for example, Isaac Chabanas (3 looms) and Daniel Baudouin (18 Looms):
10. Bredell & Chabot, Dyers
I had found the firm (co-partnership) trading in Fashion Street in 1817.
I later found another entry:
Directory of London and Westminster & Borough of Southwark 1794
Hart, Chabot & Bredell, Scarlet Dyers, 4 White Row, Spitalfields.
The firm had a dyehouse with a dwelling house in both White Row and 61 Fashion Street (sometime 54) but from 1808 just Fashion Street.
The pricipals were:
- James Hart of White Row (retired from firm 1808)
- Philip Chabot of Fashion Street (died 1800)
- John Bredell of White Row - James Hart's nephew (died 1828)
The Chabot family came from Poitou N.E. of Bordeaux.
Philip Chabot
According to the internet, Philip Chabot (living in Fashion Street 1787) was a silk dyer and traded under the name Hart, Chabot & Bredell of White Row, Spitalfields then of Fashion Street. They for many years supplied the East India Co with scarlet wool for their Army's clothing.
By 1819, the Chabot Dyeworks at 61 Fashion Street had son Philip Chabot in partnership with John Bredell.
As with many websites, the website for James Chabot (Philip Junior's brother) has some interesting information about the family:
