Protestant Exiles from France/Book First - Chapter 15 - Six
Six.
There is another family of this name in the Canterbury registers. I may here remark that the final x being mute, and the two letters s and i alone being pronounced, like the English word see, this surname was liable to be spelt in a great variety of ways. Anthoine Sys was an elder in Canterbury, and died there on 26th June 1603; he is described, according to my correspondent, as sel ancien — perhaps the registrar meant to write feu ancien (late elder). Anthoine’s son, Thomas Six, is described in the Canterbury French Church register as a native of Nauville; he was twice married, and by his second wife, Marie Lecallette, had a son, Samuel, who was baptized in Threadneedle Street, London, on 28th April 1639. Samuel Six married Francoise Flecher, and their son Jean was baptized in Threadneedle Street on 6th March 1664 (n.s.). Jean Six married Marie Morillon, and was buried at Thorp-le-Soken in Essex, 4th April 1705. There we have to leave the record of his death, and the persons of his widow and his two surviving children, Ester-Marie and Jean (born 1700).
