‘Strangers’ or ‘aliens’ were a concern of the central government, and frequent efforts were made to identify and enumerate them.  The following entries are from the Publications of the Huguenot Society of London, vol.10, ed. R.E.G. Kirk and Ernest F. Kirk, parts 1 (1900), 2 (1902), 3 (1907), hereafter HSL1, HSL2, HSL3, supplemented by additional entries from lay subsidy rolls not included in Kirk & Kirk.  There is an alphabetised list of strangers; note that names found in that list may occur in more than one place in this list.
