Have you tried the Lajoie forum on this site?
You write of a "Napoleon and his daughter" - Napoleon who? It is a not so uncommon given name among various families. Regarding the use of "de" as a prefix - there was also a "noblesse de robes", i.e., judges and other officers we permitted to use the "noble" prefix.
Some French Protestants and some French nobility did get to England in various centuries. Many thousands also spent some time there as prisoners of war. My own great-great grandfather is an example of this latter case.
