Hi Everyone I am not sure where the query about Paul Forestier started but I came across this name when I was researching my ancestor Charles du Blés. This extract comes from the History of the Walloon & Huguenot Church at Canterbury by Francis W Cross [in Huguenot Society Quarto series vol.15 fiche 02, p169-171]. There was a paragraph or two about Paul Forestier before this extract. "Du Blés, who was evidently possessed of a somewhat combative disposition, entered into dispute with his colleague Paul Fourestier shortly before the latter's death, and the quarrel was continued by the younger Fourestier and members of the congregation. Pastor Fourestier being aged and infirm resigned his office in or about April 1747, but continued his connection with the Church. He officiated at a baptism in January 1748, and his death at the age of 80, took place in the following December: he was buried in St. Peter's churchyard, where his wife had been laid to rest ten years earlier (February 21, 1738). An offer was made to his son to succeed him in the ministry, and his name has been erroneously included in some lists of the pastors. He declined the appointment2, but while still a "proposant" for the ministry preached in the crypt from October 1747 till February 1748. The controversy in which du Blés engaged with the younger Fourestier and some of the Consistory became of sufficient importance to require the arbitrament of a neighbouring Church." I hope that any descendant of Paul Forestier will forgive my "combative" ancestor. Bronwyn Stuckey Australia
