I HAVE been researching my family tree and find that my direct ancestor goes back to Warrington and further back to the Huguenots as follows.
Henry Holt christened on January 1, 1761 married in Manchester Cathedral to Nancy Saverery christened on September 11, 1736 in Warrington.
Her ancestor was William Savorie, christened on November 1, 1639, a French Hugenots in Aldgate London.
If anyone has a connection to this name please contact me on email via constance.t.holt@gmail.com.
