Burnaby Lautier The origins of a surname 3

1. Preface When she asked where the name BURNABY LAUTIER came from, Renée got the following reply from

her grandmother1:

Well, child, at some point in previous generations there was a young man called BURNABY who wanted

to marry a girl whose surname was LAUTIER. Mr BURNABY asked consent from the girl’s father for his

son to marry her. But as Mr LAUTIER only had daughters and he wanted to prevent his name from

dying out he stipulated a condition: the surname BURNABY had to be coupled with that of LAUTIER to

make sure that his surname would survive. And that’s how it happened; the family name BURNABY

LAUTIER was born as a result of that marriage.

However when Emile asked his grandfather2 the same question, he received a different answer:

My grandmother, Mary Harriot PANTIN, suddenly added BURNABY to her son Henri’s surname LAUTIER

after her husband died. The most likely reason seems to be that someone called BURNABY was actually

Henri’s real father. Your father never accepted this theory because he was a bit of a Francophile, and

didn’t want to believe he might be descended from a damned Englishman.

Moreover, it appears that the Civil Administration also had trouble with the name. Is BURNABY in the

name Henry Burnaby Lautier a surname, or a Christian name? And how exactly should it be spelled:

Henri, Henry or Henrij? Transcribing handwritten records led to even further interpretations and

possibly introduced new errors: over the years, BURNABY appears as both a Christian name and a

surname in the records. Nonetheless, despite the many recorded variations, the name somehow

survived intact into the 21st century.

suggested here; on the other hand, in reality they may have been rather different.

2. The Huguenots When the French King Louis XIV revoked the Edict of Nantes4 in 1685, he eliminated all future prospect of religious freedom for many French Protestants. Since 1679, these ‘Huguenots’ had already been persuaded or forced to convert to Catholicism, and their religious practices had been banned. After a period of over 100 years of relative religious tolerance, the prospect of a holy war, with its associated burning of church buildings, looting, rape, persecution, galley slavery and prohibition of Huguenot church services, meant that to flee from their homeland, although prohibited, seemed the only possible means of securing safety and religious freedom. Even escape was not without its dangers, as informers often looted any seized goods and many refugees were imprisoned, wounded or worse. In the period from 1650 to 1710 between 170,000–200,000 Huguenots fled France, with this exodus reaching its peak in the years immediately following the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. Existing trade routes were used as escape routes.

Illustration 2: Destinations of refugees from France during the reign of Louis XIV

Many refugees were members of the bourgeoisie, or were wealthy citizens or craftsmen. They took

with them to those countries who accepted them (by some of whom they had even been officially

invited, for example to Germany by the Edict of Potsdam5) many newly-developed techniques,

materials and methods. Most fleeing Huguenots had suffered confiscation and theft of their goods or

4 In 1598 King Henry IV issued the ‘Edict of Nantes’ which awarded the Huguenots religious freedom. Henry

IV had himself previously been a Huguenot, but converted to Catholicism in order to be able to ascend the French throne. Despite this freedom of religion France was not really safe for Huguenots. From 1660 onwards an increasing number decided to flee the country. 5 Elector Frederick William I of Brandenburg issued the Edict of Potsdam at the end of October 1685, three

weeks after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. This held out to Huguenots the prospect not only of tax and financial advantages, but also of freedom of religion and language.


paid heavy bribes in order to obtain safe passage and therefore had to rely on help for such basic

essentials such as housing, food and clothing when they arrived in their new homes.

For Protestant silversmiths, reasons for leaving were economic as well as religious. In 1686, Louis XIV

decreed that all silver in France had to be handed over to the authorities to help finance the war

against the Netherlands. This decree even applied to churches, with the only exceptions being sacred

vessels and cutlery for individual use. For most silversmiths, this decree meant a collapse of the

future market for their wares.

Illustration 3: Huguenots fleeing from the port of La Rochelle6

Although countries accepting refugees saw occasional resistance to what they saw as foreigners who

enjoyed homes, tax benefits and work at the expense of the native population, for the most part

integration was a success. By the end of the first year Jean-Louis, Marie and Pierre had already been

transformed into John Lewis, Mary and Peter; looking back, it appears that full integration was

achieved within three to four generations.

Among the Protestant refugees from France at the end of the 17th and early 18th centuries were

Simon PANTIN and Jeanne MAUBERT from Rouen (76 Seine-Maritime) and their two children, Jean-

Pierre LEAUTIER (LIOTIER) from La Beaume (05 Hautes-Alpes) and Marguerite DEVILLE from Orange (84

Vaucluse).

3. Pantin Simon (0)7 PANTIN was a member of a large family of silversmiths who were based in and around

Rouen in France. When in 16818 he and Jeanne MAUBERT fled to London with their two children Simon

(I) and Esther, Esaie PANTIN had already gone before them as a pioneer. Together with Pierre

HARRACHE, David WILLAUME, Peter COURTAULD, Abraham BUTEUX, Pierre PLATEL and Paul DE LAMEYRIE,

Simon (I) PANTIN formed the first generation of Huguenot-descended goldsmiths working in London.

Illustration 4: Hallmarks of Lewis (I) PANTIN and Simon (I) PANTIN9

Because of the exceptional quality and style of their work, they exerted a strong influence on the

development of English art jewellery, making their own transition from the late Baroque to the new

Rococo style. Maintaining a close community, they intermarried and acted as mentors to each

other's children; as a result this style was also fairly consistent.

The first generation line was continued by Simon (II) PANTIN, Lewis (I) PANTIN and Lewis (II) PANTIN,

all of whom were jewellers of repute.

Illustration 5: Pair of sauce boats, 1737 Lewis (I) PANTIN

7 Most of the PANTIN goldsmiths were named Esaie, Simon or Lewis. Available sources do not provide

conclusive evidence of all relationships, therefore for clarity in most works they are usually delineated using Roman numerals (incremented over time). This convention is also adopted here. 8 The first mention of Simon (0) in London dates from 1681 in the Temoinage of Threadneedle Street Church. In

1682-84 support from this church for “Simon PANTIN, goldsmith, with wife and two children” is mentioned. 9 The hallmark of Simon (I) PANTIN contains a peacock, most likely referring to his first work address in London,

which was in Peacock Street.


Lewis (II) PANTIN was born on 6 July 1739 and on 18 February 1769 he married Jane Lambert, whose

family originated from Rouen or Saint Quentin. The second child from this marriage was Mary Harriot

PANTIN, born on 9 February 1771 at 45 Fleet Street, London, and baptized in the church which lay

almost opposite the house (Saint Dunstan-in-the-West, London). Lewis’s company, CROWN & SCEPTRE,

was established at the same address, where he worked as a gold- and silversmith, jeweller and

toymaker. Mary Harriot had an older brother Lewis (III) (* 1770); she would be followed by six other

brothers and sisters10.

Illustration 6: Fleet Street c179211

In 1781 the family moved to 36 Southampton Street, near Covent Garden, where Mary Harriot

enjoyed the sounds and smells of the market. However her father was declared bankrupt in 1800,

despite the eminent position he had achieved as a goldsmith: he never established a new business

and died in 1806. His son, Lewis (III) PANTIN, started his own company before he finally left for the

Caribbean (Trinidad and Tobago).

4. Lautier Jean Pierre LAUTIER

12, the son of Louis LAUTIER and Françoise BERNARD, was born on 26 September 1692

in La Beaume en Dauphiné (05 Hautes-Alpes), about 40 km west of Gap. The LAUTIERS were wool-

combers and dyers. But the dragoons of Louis XIV were also carrying out persecutions in the Hautes-

Alpes, and so in the early 18th century Jean Pierre fled to Berlin, his most likely escape route being

through the Alps to Switzerland and then via Frankfurt am Main13 to Berlin. The Edict of Potsdam

encouraged Huguenots to come to live and work to Berlin.

Illustration 7: The Edict of Potsdam

In 1704 Theodore DEVILLE and Marie CHARRIER fled with their daughter Marguerite (*1699) from

Orange to Berlin. As part of the agreement on the assignment of rights of the Principality of Orange

to France14, those citizens who refused to convert to Catholicism were granted passports and made

to leave the city. Elector Frederick William I of Prussia agreed to receive them.

The journey of 758 refugees by boat on the Rhone to Geneva, and then to Berlin via Frankfurt-am-

Main, took almost a year.

12

At the end of the 17th century we see the following name variations: LAUTIER, LEAUTIER, LIOTIER, LOTIER and LIAUTIER. This article standardizes on the name LAUTIER. 13

Frankfurt-am-Main was for many years a major interchange for refugees to Germany. 14

Frederick William I allowed the Huguenot immigrants to preserve their own religion and language,

granting them both legal and religious autonomy. As a result the French colony grew and the

Huguenots developed a close-knit community, so that by 1700 18% of the population of Berlin was

French.

In April 1723 Jean-Pierre LAUTIER15 and Marguerite DEVILLE were married in the Französische Kirche in

Berlin.

Illustration 8: The French Church at the Gendarmenplatz in Berlin

Preceded by five brothers and a sister, Jean-Louis LAUTIER was born on 20 August 1740. LAUTIER Père

had by then risen to be owner of one of the most famous trading houses in Berlin, in which capacity

he probably met the PANTIN family in London, possibly in the silver market. The business was a

success and developed into the trading houses JORDAN&LAUTIER16

and PLATZMANN&LAUTIER17. However

the childhood of Jean-Louis was cut short by the death of his father in 1746 followed by that of his

mother three years later. Jean-Louis, their youngest child, was only eight years old when he was

orphaned. After working in his father's business, he left for London with his brother Jaques François

and learned the silversmith’s trade. In 1767 he married Ann PANTIN, and in 1773 Joseph LAUTIER was

born at 20 Fleet Street, where the workplace of John LAUTIER was then established. Joseph was

naturalised as an English citizen by the English Parliament in 1772.

Joseph lived just a stone's throw from his cousin Mary Harriot PANTIN, who was two years older than

him and resided at number 4518. They saw each other every Sunday in church and at other meetings

of the Huguenot community. However it seems that Joseph felt more at home working in trade, like

his ancestors, than in his father’s silversmith craft. In the early 1790s Joseph, his sister Harriot

(*1774) and Mary Harriot PANTIN left London for India.

5. Burnaby The title "Baronet BURNABY OF BROUGHTON HALL" in the county of Oxfordshire was awarded to Sir William BURNABY

19 in 1767 in recognition of his Vice-Admiralship in the Caribbean20. Born in about 1710 in Kensington, he was the son of John BURNABY Esq. from Kensington, and Clara WOOD (1672-1679), daughter of the British ambassador to Sweden. He purchased the property at Broughton Hall In 1747.

Illustration 9: Broughton Hall, near Skipton in Oxfordshire

Henry BURNABY Esq. was born in 1773 (by which time William was 63) from William’s second

marriage, to Grace Drewry OTTLEY (1739-1823). Henry was the fifth child in a series of seven and had a

twin sister, Harriot Emma. Their father died when they were four years old and the Baronetcy passed

to Sir William Chaloner BURNABY, William’s eldest son from his first marriage to Margaret DONOVAN.

Seeking to offer her children improved opportunities and international experience, at some point in

about 1784 Grace left for India taking with her Henry (11), Georgina (20), Charlotte (15), Harriot

Emma (11) and George (9).

19

William BURNABY was knighted in 1754. 20

While maintaining order in Belize in 1765, Admiral William BURNABY and Captain COOK set up a number of rules regarding swearing, theft and luring sailors away from their boats. The ruling settled contracts with employees, the collection of taxes and the appointment of police officers. These have gone down in history as "Burnaby's Code".


6. India

The BURNABYS arrived in Tranquebar21, India, in 1784. They adapted quickly, joining other Europeans,

including many French Huguenots, in the upper echelons of local society. In 1785 Georgina Grace

married Jean Ezechiel CHAMIER, a member of the Madras government. Charlotte followed in 1787 by

marrying Josias DU PRE PORCHER Esq., a member of a Huguenot family who had fled to Charleston,

South Carolina, USA. In 1793 Harriot Emma BURNABY completed the list with her marriage to John

RICHARDSON. By this time Henry was 20 years old and a partner in the firm KINDERSLEY, WATTS & CO, a

trading company that also dealt in insurance and legal matters.

Illustration 10: Indian Coromandel Coast

At the end of the 18th century Tranquebar was a prosperous trading centre which had been under

Danish rule since 1620. The district was situated in the province of Madras on the Coromandel Coast,

about 140 km south of the French trading post Pondicherry. Trade was under the control of the

Danish East India Company, which had expanded and prospered up until that point.

To prevent the seizure of valuable cargo ships, Denmark aimed to maintain its neutrality during

armed conflicts. What made Tranquebar unique for trade after 1772 was its admission of private

commercial flag vessels not controlled by the Danish East India Company. Many private traders

scented an opportunity there, as did Joseph LAUTIER, who arrived in Tranquebar with Mary Harriot

PANTIN in around 1794. The Danish enclave within the city walls at that time had only around 3000

inhabitants, including 300 Western Europeans, 250 of whom were Danes. Tranquebar was a small

community with close social bonds.

Illustration 11: Tranquebar, c1733

Joseph LAUTIER and Henry BURNABY soon came to know each other. Joseph began as a ship-owner22

and captain; Henry had a role in a trading company23. Specific trade routes existed between Manila,

Malaysia, Sumatra, India, China, Singapore and Batavia; trade consisted mainly of silver, silk and

cotton. Joseph had good customers for silver in the PANTIN family in London, and silk could be

delivered by his own family from Hamburg. A key location for trade was Ile de France24, where at the

beginning of the 19th century 70,000 slaves ensured a constant supply of sugar, coffee, cotton and

cloves.

Mary Harriot also came to know Henry, and was a constant companion of his younger sister Emma

Harriot, the two girls being about the same age. Mary Harriot was attracted to this charming

Englishman, yet remained aware that she was in India with and because of Joseph. In 1797 Charles

LAUTIER, the first child of Joseph and Mary Harriot, was born, but the couple’s marriage did not take

place until later, on 4 December 1799.

Illustration 12: Marriage of Joseph LAUTIER and Mary Harriot PANTIN, 4 December 1799

Tranquebar was occupied by the English in 1801, but surrendered back to the Danes in 1802.

Paradoxically, in 1802 Mary Harriot's brother25 arrived as a British Naval officer serving in India. The

occupation by the British affected the neutrality of Tranquebar. Trade was in decline, making it

difficult for the Europeans to maintain their status. In 1801 William Alfred LAUTIER was born, followed

by Emilie Augusta LAUTIER26 in 1804. But the feelings that Mary Harriot had for Henry BURNABY did not

diminish over the years, and as a ship-owner and captain it often occurred that Joseph was away

from home for months at a time. During one such period of absence Mary Harriot finally submitted

to the charms of Henry and became pregnant. Even before the birth of Henry LAUTIER in 1806, Joseph

had realised that he could not possibly be the child’s father; moreover, he knew who was, but as a

sober sailor did not want to provoke any gossip in the small community, and so the secret was kept

within the family.

In 1801 Denmark remained neutral in the Napoleonic wars, but this ceased to be possible following

the bombardment of Copenhagen by the British in 180727, and in 1808 the British again occupied

Tranquebar. This presented a serious blow to trade, and an increasing number of merchant ships

now fell into British hands. It would appear, however, that the war in the Indian Ocean was focused

more on prizetaking than on military achievements: from each ship seized, the value of the booty

following message appeared in a local newspaper:

Illustration 13: Madras News28, 1808

The end of Danish neutrality carried a high price: Joseph LAUTIER did indeed keep his life, but he lost

his ship, the Venner. 1811 saw the birth of his last child, Rosa Carolina LAUTIER. Life was becoming

harder as the market declined, and more and more Europeans were leaving Tranquebar. In 1817

Joseph LAUTIER again voyaged to Mauritius with his brig Eugene to collect merchandise and slaves,

whom he trained as crews for his ships. Mary Harriot PANTIN accompanied her husband on this

journey, but died in Mauritius at just 46 years old on 19 February of that year.

Both Joseph LAUTIER and Henry BURNABY felt defeated. They agreed that the elder Henry should take

charge of his son Henry, and that to underline their relationship the name BURNABY would be added

to the boy’s name. The new family name thus became BURNABY LAUTIER. In 1818, Henry BURNABY left

with his son Henry BURNABY LAUTIER (aged 12) for Semarang in Java (Dutch East Indies29).

Joseph remained in India with the other children. However in 1822 he was back in Mauritius, along

with his eldest daughter, Emilie Augusta. For her 18th birthday a servant was purchased in order to

help with preparations for her wedding30 to Etienne WHITE in 1824. But even before this marriage

had taken place Joseph had moved to Padang on Sumatra (Dutch East Indies) together with his

youngest daughter, Rosa Carolina.

Henry BURNABY and his son Henry BURNABY LAUTIER needed to become accustomed to their new

situation and the all-male household (apart from the servants) in which they now lived. At fourteen,

the young Henry fathered a child with Mina, one of the servants, and on 3 February 1821 Emma

BURNABY LAUTIER was born, the first child to bear the family name BURNABY LAUTIER. Mina took care of

the child, who died at the age of four, while Henry continued his school career. In 1826, when his son

was 20 years old, Henry BURNABY left Semarang to serve in the British Royal Navy31. In the same year,

Joseph arrived with his ship Transfer in Batavia to take on cargo. He did not leave. On 3 December

1826 Joseph LAUTIER died in Batavia, aged 53 and the trading company FORESTIER & CO was appointed

as his executors.

In 1828 Henry BURNABY LAUTIER moved from Semarang to Padang, Sumatra, where his youngest sister

Rosa Carolina lived. Here, also, Henry became too intimate with one of the servants so that in 1829

Siam became mother of Jacoba32. Henry clearly followed the example of his father: he assumed

responsibility and this child also bore his family name.

Rosa Carolina LAUTIER married33 Isaac Moritz PELTZER and Henry became a partner in the Trade and

Commission House PELTZER & LAUTIER. Business was good, Rosa and Isaac were blessed with three

children34 and Henry came to know Anna, fourteen years his junior, whom he married35 in 1836. The

couple moved to Djokjakarta and shortly thereafter to Batavia. Two children were born, Oscar

Arend36 and Eugène Henri37, so there were now two heirs. Both had careers in the public sector,

resulting in a number of Residency posts38 for Oscar Arend, and an Administrator post39 for Eugène

Henri after serving in the Army as a captain.

Illustration 15: Sugar company Bandjardawa in Pemalang, Java

Oscar Arend was married first40, to Marie Louise Emelie BÉDIER DE PRAIRIE who originated from a family

of traders and planters in Réunion. This marriage was initially opposed by her parents so that Oscar

had to abduct her, although with witnesses to preserve her honour and virtue. Marie Louise Emelie

was a cousin of the writer Eduard DU PERRON’S mother41. Oscar Arend, as Resident in Central Java,

acted as her guardian for some time, at the request of her parents, to prevent her from marrying.

He was to discharge himself of this undertaking with complete effectiveness. In the novel Het land

van herkomst42 (1935) DU PERRON gives an account of this, including a beautiful and atmospheric

description of the family’s perils and life in the colonial Dutch East Indies during this period.

The marriage of Oscar Arend BURNABY LAUTIER remained childless. Three years later, Oscar Eugène

Henri married Maria Theresia HOEDT, producing eight children43, among them Marie Henriëtte

Elisabeth BURNABY LAUTIER and Emile BURNABY LAUTIER, grandparents respectively of the Renée and

Emile referred to in the Preface. Eugène Henri died44 young, aged 44 and still working at the Sugar

Company in Bandjardawa.

His brother Oscar Arend reached the age of 55,45 at which point he was still active as Resident of

Soerakarta. In the end, only one son (Emile, son of Eugène Henri) contributed to the survival of the

family name: on 29 October 1909 Emile married Theodora MONOD DE FROIDEVILLE in Djokjakarta.

From this marriage there were three children: Theodora46, Emile Jacques47 and Eugene Charles48. Of

these, Emile Jacques married49 Dina RAPHAËL from Amsterdam; he was the only one to produce a son

and heir.

Until the present day the family name BURNABY LAUTIER has always been passed on by one heir, yet

this has been sufficient to produce the first five generations.
