Anne Julie's date is also apparently too early for the archives provided (beginning 1815).
Auguste Jean's entry is on p 671 of the Saint-Nicolas-de-Pierrepont archive.
Pierre Jean is on p 266 of the same archive.
Angelique is on pp 36-37 of the Noirpalu archive.

Some are easier to read than others, but all say pretty much the same thing: parents, parishes, witnesses, priest, etc. From a quick glance, all seemed to be legitimate.

Hello,

1  the french registers are called "registres paroissiaux (parish registers) before the revolution and some time after (until september 1792 when the registers were to be filled by the mayors and no longer the curates)

After the revolution they are called " registres d'etat civil" without any mention of any religion

2  the revolutionary calendar was used from september 1792 to 1 january 1806
You must use a date converter to search either gregorian or revolutionary dates .
I use this one :http://www.poissons52.fr/histoire/revolution1789/calendrier_v.php

Very rough translation of Arthemise's birth certificate keeping the very longwinded style:

No 5
Birth of JEANETTE, Arthemise Clementine Victoire

The year eighteen hundred and forty-five, the second of May at ten am before us Victor Adam Mayor and Registrar of the Commune of Houtteville, Canton of La Haye-du-Puits, Arrondissement of Coutances, Département of La Manche, appeared before us Jean Baptiste Jeanette, farmer, forty-three years old, living in this Commune, who presented us with a female child born of him today at three am and declaring this to be in his house in the village of Gratot (?) and of Anne Leliepvre (?), his spouse, and declared wishing to give the forenames of Athemise Clementine Victoire the afore-mentioned declaration and presentation made in the presence of (?) forty-four years old residing in Cretteville and Jean Adam twenty-six years old , both farmers, the said father and witnesses signed with me this birth certificate after having had it read to them.

Note: Houteville and Cretteville are now part of Picauville.

I may be duplicating what others have already said and I'm not quite sure if this is what you want, but just in case.  The Catholic parish registers  (registres de catholicité) are supposed to be on Family Search - I haven't checked exactly what is there but see this link:

Rough translation of Jean Baptiste's Birth Certificate

Birth of Jeannette, Jean Baptiste

Year thirteen of the republic, the fifth of Thermidor (month of warmth) (=24 July 1805) at ten am before us François Malassis (?) Mayor, Registrar of the Commune of Le Plessis, Canton of Périers (?), Département of La Manche appeared before us Charles Jeannette, forty-two years old, farmer, residing in Le Plessis who presented us with a male child born of him (?) this day at seven am and of Marie Lahaigne, his spouse, to whom he declared wishing to to give the forenames of Jean Baptiste. The afore-mentioned declaration and presentation made in the presence of Pierre La Moigne, farmer, thirty two years old, residing in Le Plessis and of Julien La Moigne also farmer, thirty-seven years old, residing in Le Plessis, father and witnesses signed with us this birth certificate after having it read to them.

I don't think Jeanne Honorine will appear in the archives as they seem to begin in the Republican month Germinal of Year 12, i.e. beginning 21 March 1804.


That's right, Jeanne Honorine does not appear either in the decenal tables or the registers.
