There are 151 references to the name Fournier in the Bibliotheque Genealogique Paris and whilst I have not searched them all I did come across one at Glasnes, department 51 and one in Guines, department 62 which may be of interest. There are also four references to the spelling Fourny of which two are based in the Nord region. I would suggest it would be worth while sending an e-mail to them as they do not charge for searching. I also note that there is one reference to the people of Rethel in the Departmental Archives at Chalons and that is C537 and appears to be a census of the Protestant population. Unfortunately no date is given. I f you haven't done so I would also suggest consulting the Leiden Collection which is available on film from the LDS. Hope this is of some use.
