 So far, no records have been discovered, either in Rouen or in London, that prove Nicolas was a master goldsmith.There is no record of his work or where he and his family lived, although the church where his son was baptized indicates that he had taken up residence in the general area that was later occupied by the members of the family who followed him to England.There appear to be no burial records of Nicolas but it must be assumed that he died in late 1676 or early 1677, because in the latter year, Marie returned to Rouen, where she remarried on 28 October 1677.
