Steven himself was of a Protestant (Huguenot) belief and saw now future for himself in Paris, due to the ongoing persecutions. We are also not sure if he was a Huguenot, but because he did not leave France via a normal route, he may well been missed!! My mother and Uncle both maintained he was!!! - Certainly there are a lot of Artauds in Canada and USA, so it would be interesting to see where they all tie up to the tree!! And at what stage they left France!! I know from South African Records that the Huguenots all arrived in the Cape early in 1700's.
He (Stephen) study Jewellery in Holland and on his arrival in London he worked for and later succeed a Mr. Arkell, who was the Crown Jeweller to King George the Third? (I have not confirmed this!!). My cousin Richard Scrase is trying to find out whether there is an Arkell Hallmark and what in fact Stephen made!! According to records the family made, he was a frequent visitor to the palace and often dined with the King and Queen.
In fact he was so busy that he had his two spinster sisters join him in the business. Both were also from Paris and one of them taught at the Dutemps School there for over 40 years. Both died in London, but as yet I have no record of their existence or even their names!!
One of the other facts that are mentioned in the writing are:- one of the Artauds was in fact the Archbishop of Rheims in France about 774 and was famous (or Infamous) for his dispute with the counts of Paris and Normandy, who laid siege to Rheims. Artaud was deposed, but the King restored him to his see the following year.
