I am researching the Huguenot Labat and Renouard families. In particular, I am interested in Jane Henrietta Elisabeth Labat who migrated to Rotterdam and died there in 1791. According to Dutch sources she was born in Dublin in 1751 as the daughter of John Joseph Labat and Deborah Renouard (who is a daughter of David Renouard). Unfortunately, I have not been able to find her baptism in the registers of the French conformed churches of St. Patrick and St. Mary, Dublin. Any help is appreciated!

Joseph and Deborah had a daughter Elizabeth Rachel in 1747: https://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/display-pdf.jsp?pdfName=d-277-1-2-026 She is recorded in the registers of St. Mary (Church of Ireland).

Joseph Labat may have married twice. Firstly to the widow Susan Campbell in 1734 who may be the "Mrs Labat" buried at St. Mary in 1743. He married Deborah Renouard in 1744.

There is also a Joseph Labatte who was mayor of Youghal. He had a daughter Elizabeth in 1750: https://www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/20608731.pdf

Thanks John! Elizabeth is likely Jane's sister who is confirmed at the Isle of Man in 1766 together with Jane (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QV9B-T1NK). A brother Maximillian was born at the Isle of Man in 1756 (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QV9B-YFKT). Both parents were ultimately buried at the Isle of Man.

I have gone through the 1751 records, but have not found a Jane yet, unfortunately...

Looking at the register Maximillian was baptised in 1759 not 1756. He may be the man who died in Dublin in 1847.

LABAT, Maximilian Joseph; 87; Dublin DUB IRL; Cork Examiner (COR IRL); 1847-4-7
or

March 30, at Upper Dorset-street, aged 88. Joseph Labat, formerly Chief of the Discount-office, Bank of Ireland. 
06 April 1847 - Dublin Evening Post
or http://census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/dw/IRE_DIOC_007246544_00035.pdf
His Executor was Henrietta H Draper, probably Henrietta Hassard Draper.
