As a result, references can be found among Quarter Sessions and parish records, although their survival is variable.

The history of particular groups, such as the Dutch workers who drained the Fens, are featured in a range of museums and heritage centres already referred to. Some personal accounts can be found in collections held at local record offices. Many can be found by searching for relevant topics in their card and online indexes and catalogues. One such is an illuminating insight into the flight from France of a couple called Paul and Madelaine Turquand, which can be found in a collection of papers relating to the Martineau family among the Octagon chapel records in Norfolk Record Office. These are entitled an ‘Extract from an account of the Huguenot Turquand family from the 10th or 11th century to the year 1814’ by Louis Turquand. The Martineaus were a prominent Norwich family of French Huguenot extraction and include the writer and social reformer Harriet (1802-1876). There is no specific reference to East Anglia within the tale, so presumably its presence within these papers means the Turquands and Martineus had family or trade connections.
