Hi, I realise that on first reading those of you on the EC & IB lists may wonder why I've posed this question to you as it refers to some of my French Huguenot Ancestors......I have done so as there are so many extremely fine researchers on these lists who may just know the answer to my question. I have very little information on my ancestors Louis FOURIE and his wife Susanna CORDIER other than the approximate dates and places of the births and deaths. If anyone has any further information on these people I would be delighted to receive it. I have Louis FOURIE born about 1671 in Pontaix, Drome, Dauphine France the son of Louis FOURIE and Susanna CORBIER (I wonder if this is correct...the names sound astonishingly like his and his wife's), He died about 1750 in Wellington, Cape of Good Hope. He was married to Susanna CORDIER (CORTJE) who was born about 1674 in Paarl, Cape of Good Hope died about 1715 at Drakenstein (later Paarl), Cape of Good Hope. Their daughter Susanna FOURIE was born about 1694 in Wellington, Cape of Good Hope and died on the 26th April 1762 at Stellenbosch. She married Jean NEL (son of Gwillaume NEL & Jeanne Neel DE LA BATTE in about 1716. They had 7 children (as far as I am aware; Willem Adriaan NEL born before 25 Apr 1717 d Unkown, Jan NEL born bef 13 Nov 1718 d about 1760; Louis NEL (my ancestor) born bef 16 Feb 1721 d about 1756; Susanna NEL b bef 4 Oct 1722 d Unknown; Marthinus NEL born bef 19 Nov 1724; d Unknown; Johanna Margaretha NEL b bef 25 Mar 1730 d Unknown & Adriaan NEL born bef 25 Mar 1736 d Unknown. This information came from the Martin Voss file of Ali Smith. Any information would be most welcome. Best wishes, Tombi Peck
