Dear Thomas Sullivan,
I have a reference to Lochrist (priory?), in
Saint-Gilles-d'Hennebont (diocese of Vannes, Brittany), as a benefice
dependent on the Abbey of Saint-Gildas de Rhuys (p. 493). (There is also
mention of a Lochrist in Inzinzac, also in the diocese of Vannes at p.
502).
The source is: *Cartulaire de l'abbaye de Redon en Bretagne*,
publie par M. Aurelien de Courson. (Paris: Imprimerie Imperiale, 1863),
p. 493.
I hope this helps.
