Found this on Salome's second husband, Alexander Cazettes.
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/p...pdf/doc_31.pdf

He was discharged from being a constable in the parish of St Mary Islington die to his incompetence and lack of command of the English language.

In other documents, he is recorded as being a lieutenant and then captain in Foissac's Dragoons - a French Dragoon regiment which has been raised in Portugal.

Did we all nod when he said, right at the beginning, "I wish I'd asked them (parents) more questions"?

No Rosie, I just wish I'd made them prove what they told me! Would have saved me years of going down the wrong trail(s).

I think the story of the south sea bubble would have been more interesting than the weavers house which did not really have any thing to do with the story. I started by thinking I bet Derek Jacobi's family home is worth a lot now so I was less convinced by family poverty.
