Guillaume André

"Colonel J.L. Chester, an American genealogist who edited the "Westminster Abbey Registers", did a lot of research into the André family. James André, of Nismes in France, was the earliest ancestor he could find. His son David became a merchant at Genoa in Italy and died there 8 March 1737/8 but his will was proved in London. The other son John married Louise Vazeille and had seven children. Their third son William (d.1747) went to Geneva and married Mary Privat (d.1767). William had ten children and three of the sons, Anthony, David and John-Louis came to England. (Two other sons, David and John, became merchants and both married and had children). Anthony married Marie Louise Girardot and their son was Major John. John and his brother William Louis, and sisters Mary Hannah (d.1845), Ann Marguerite (d.1830) and Louisa Catherine (d.1835) all died unmarried."
