Hello Steve, Richard and Emmeline,
I realize this post is some years old now, are you all still researching the Fleurriets? I am also from the Pierre Fleurriet and Rachel Le Heupe family. Their son Pierre/Peter (Jean/John's brother) married Esther Atwell and they were my 6th great grandparents. In my tree, Pierre and Jean's other siblings are Marthe, David and Anne. It seems to me that if the first daughter was named Marthe, there's a great chance that Pierre Sr's mother was in fact Marthe le Grand. Has anyone found proof of this?
I'm also curious if anyone has done research on the Le Heupe family? I've found sources online that list the Fleurriet/Fleuriet/Fleuriot and Le Heupe surnames as Huguenots in Spitalfields. In Pierre's Will, there was listed an Edward Le Heupe; I wonder if this was Rachel's brother? I have also seen suggestions that a David Leheup was Rachel's father, which could make sense, being that Pierre and Rachel's first son was named David. But I haven't seen any solid evidence of this.
I'm eager to learn any info beyond what I have for Pierre and Rachel, so any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
Courtney
