Hi James,
I'm also interested in St Phorien Andre - Joseph Andre was my GGrandfather.I've pieced together quite a bit of the family tree, but can't find anything about Phorien's origins.I grew up hearing stories that he was a general in the French army, but that doesn't fit with what I've found.
The earliest reference I can find is that he lived in Hammersmith from about 1832, working as a teacher of French and Spanish, and he appears to have been born in France, but without knowing whereabouts I've come up against a brick wall.
Do you have any information on his origins?
