Are we related in some very obscure/round-about way?
My understanding is that my ancestors - the Babey's came from France in either the 16th century or in the 17th century on the Revocation of the Edic of Nantes (they must have been Hugenots!)
My strain of the family have lived in the Bramshaw & West Wellow area of Hampshire, north west of Southampton since then.
