I wondered if anyone had Mauritius in world wide ancestry. One of mine, a Luke Furlong b c 1778 died before 1823 (wife stated as widow in her fathers will in 1823) but he doesnt appear to have died London. I know two of the sons ended up in Mauritius marrying girls of french ancestry. Im wondering if mum and dad went with them to Mauritius (all gunmakers/smiths) possibly with the navy? Luke senior died there and mum returned to London alone :(

Blow me, they must have bred like rabbits over in Mauritius. I did a general google with the name and Mauritius and up came lots of stuff, actors, musicians (even a you tube of one guitarist playing in Australia!), ministers, company owners. I shall have to follow that up, as some of them may well have some interesting docs or photos.

Oh, brilliant, guess what, someone has contacted me who has a letter from my GreatAunt x 3 sister of my GGMx3) who went to Mauritius with Luke Furlong - when he died she wrote to England for help getting back to London. Oh I cant wait. Just shows how things still turn up when you least expect them.
