Hi Pierce Somerville was my great great grandfather after whom I am named.I have a useful set of family notes taken from my father's interview with Pierces's grand daughter Annie in the 1930"s. They trace the descendants of the three brothers but shed little light on the origins other than confirming they came from Warwickshire to buy horses for the British army and stayed and were of Huguenot descent and the surname was then pronounced somerelle. Like you would be interested in Warwickshire origins but Coventry was a significant site of silk weaving Huguenot immigrants. The note is too large to attach but happy to email it
