List of FRENCH surname events in Felsted parish interpreted from ERO microfiche and where available their online images - see SEAX. For example Jno and Johannes written as John while some other names may be pedantically spelled. Microfiche-only entries in red have not yet been double-checked. Also listed are a few specific IGI entries and a few wills available from the Essex Record Office (ERO). Revised 1-Jul-2008.

References
Microfilm of transcripts of Felsted marriages (1558-1641, 1695-1754; SEAX Ref : T/R 168/8) can be accessed in the ERO. although also missing the period 1642-1694, they might be a more dependable source of marriages as they were thought to be transcribed from the original parish registers prior to the second world war and prior to when the microfiche version was filmed by the LDS on 30-Jan-1991. NB “+” indicates an event also recorded in the LDS IGI. Early French’s spelled with double-F while earliest also have an added E, but surnames like ‘Frank’ (& of course ‘Finch’ and 'Fitch') assumed to be distinct families.
