I was a bit suspicous of the gap between Abraham Miclo and Marie Le Doux's first child Marie in 1743 and the next Mary Sarah in 1753, ten years seemed a bit long between first and second child, so I had a deeper dig and uncovered another two children. They were baptised at St Jean's Huguenot Church which was on the Spitalfields/Bethnal Green border, I'd missed them first time around as the name has been transcribed as 'Niclo':
21 January 1750
Charle son of Abraham Niclo and Marie le Doux; baptised by Mr P. Vincent, Pastor (Born 7 Jan)
Godfather. Charle Niclo. Godmother Susanne le Doux.
10 February 1751
Jean son of Abraham Niclos and Marie le Doux ; baptised by Mr Jean Manuel, Pastor. (Born 20 Jan)
Godfather:Jean le Doux. Godmother: Susanne le Doux.
Charles Niclo/Miclo I'd say is probably the son of Jacob who later died in the French Hospital, Abraham's cousin. Fairly certain Jean & Susanne Le Doux are my 8 x great grandparents Jean Ledoux and Susanne Mallandain (married 1731 Stepney). So again points towards Marie being Jean's younger sister Marie, rather than their cousin Marie Madeliene. In any case we are distant cousins, 9th in the first instance, or 10th in the other, to be all exact about it! I have the Ledouxs back several generations in France to about 1605, so will send that info through to you in email if you'd like it.
I also had a look at the other family you mention, of Pierre Miclo's wife, your 8x great grandmother Susanne POSTEE.
This is her and her family at the Threadneedle Street Church:
Jan 4th 1680
Margerite daughter of Jean POSTY & Anne GOFFIO, his wife
Godparents. Nicolas Allard & Marguerite Berten, wife of Charles Bullo.
Dec 4th 1681
Jean, Son of Jean POSTY & Anne GOUFILIOU, his wife.
Godparents. Jean Ramete & Marsce Druen, wife of Nicolas Allart.
Jan 11th 1685
Jacob, son of Jean POSTEL & Anne GOFFENS, his wife.
Godparents. Anthoine Prumau & the wife of Adam Carlier.
Dec 26th 1686
Jacques, son of Jean POSTIS & his wife Anne GOFFIONT.
Godparents. Jean Casset & Janne Courtet.
April 2nd 1690
Jeanne, daughter of Jean POSTY & Anne, his wife.
Godparents Jacob Courtet & Jeanne Seneuet.
Feb 26 1693
Suzanne, daughter of Jean POSTE & Anne, his wife.
Godparents. Dauid Flouven & Suzanne Courtet.
April 12th 1696
Isaac, son of Jean PASTY & Anne, his wife.
Godparents. Jean Hiolle & Marie Francomme.
Unfortunately there is no indication in the charity records or entrance registers of where the family originate from, but a look at the godparents to their children shows the families that could be traced, namely the Allard(t)s, Courtets, Carliers, were all very recent refugees from Paris, and since Jean and his wife do not appear in any earlier records, an educated guess would place them originally in that area too, as they would quite likely still be moving in the same circles they did in France at that early a date.
Have not found anything on the Tisshaws yet but will see if I can add anything on what OC has uncovered. Certainly could be a link with Tissier/Weaver. That said I wondered whether pronunciation wise it might not have been a later corruption of Touchard which would have been pronounced along the lines of Too-Shar? I'll look into it anyway fingers crossed can unearth something. What details do you have on Joseph Tisshaw as it is best to work back from the point you have got to with certainty.
