Hi Donna ,
I have a Baulch family tree going back to the early 1700`s in Somerset England. However, I am quite sure that the Baulch name origanates in France as you will find some french people today with the surname unchanged. In addition to Baulch you can find Le Baulch. On a family crests page I found out about a French noble called de Mello who was related to a de Baulch. All of my ancestors have been strict Protestants the first born in Australia (1842) was called Moses and I read about a famous Baulch Protestant preacher in the 1700s U.S. The French connection and strong Protestant adherance and the fact that the geographic locale of the Baulch name is 95 percent in Southern England (I guess if you landed in the south of england why would you want to move north anyway?) leads me to suspect that they were originally French Hugenots. Protestants fleeing the Catholic Monarchy of France who may have arrived in the late 1500s or 1600s. However, I stand to be corrected and I would like to possibly travel to England and France to further unravel this mystery.
