Fleurriet - Spitalfields/Bethnal Green

[Jumperman]

Looking for any information about the name,especially Richard and Hannah & their family Ann,Anne,Harriet,William & Charlotte in the late 18th,early 19c They lived around the Brick Lane/Church Street area.Were they Huguenots ?

Richard Fleuriet chr. 18.12.1763 St. Matthew, Bethnal Green, London. Richard married Hannah Havel 27.1.1782 Spitalfields Christ Church, Stepney, London.

David Fleuriet was chr.20.2.1704 St. Jean French Huguenot, Spitalfields, London (parents Pierre Fleuriet and Rachel Leheupt).

These are just some of the Fleuriets you will find on http://www.familysearch.org          The last one probably confirms your sugggestion that the family were Huguenots.

Thanks for that.I should have said any info except what's available on the IGI.Sorry for not being specific enough.
So really,it's anything other than that and anyone with any Fleurriet connections in that area.

Thanks,Steve

maybe unconnected but seems an unusual name.   I have a pocket watch hallmarked 1807 and the watch movement is signed INo.(Inigo?) Fleurriet London
As Ancestry.co  has so few Fleurriets its possibly connected. A lot of watchmaking seemed to be centred around Eastcheap/Leadenhall Street, not far from Spitalfields

I recall seeing the name in a book of watchmaking but can't now find a reference to it on the internet.

best wishes.

Hi threesheds

Welcome to Rootschat 

According to his profile, Jumperman hasn't been online here at Rootschat for over a year. Hopefully though, he will receive email notifications that we have posted and come back soon.

Hi, I'm still here, just not been able to devote any time to the site for a while.

I'll have to have a delve and see what I can find, but I'm not aware without investigating, of any watchmakers in my line.
As far as I remember, they are all Silk Weavers and that type of employment.

How very interesting though, I will get on the trail and see what I can find.

Regards

Steve
