Dear Gary,
I am replying on both Carpenter & Carpentier Roots Forums.
The reason for this is the hope that there may other Huguenot Carpenters
lurking out there.
Below is several links to Huguenot links.

Portsmouth and Portsea are port towns. They would have been logical
landing points.

Dear John,
Thank you for your reply to my question. This means
it is at least possible. Also, I was not familiar
with where most of the Huguenots originated from. The
area that my ancestors concentrated in was Hampshire,
Portsmouth and Portsea. Was this a common destination
for those Huguenots?
Regards,
Gary
