London and Middlesex / Re: Fleurriet - Spitalfields/Bethnal Green

Hi Jumperman
I see you're still digging up Fleurriets!
We corresponded some years ago about the Barretts, Joseph Barrett married Harriet Fleurriet.
I read a great book about Spitalfields recently and it rekindled my interest.
Did you ever get any further info on that Barrett line?
I never managed to get back past Joseph's father Samuel, and don't even know where he came from or what happened to him. Joseph was apprenticed to a calico block print cutter in Mitcham (1802) so they may have been from Surrey rather than the East End.
Anyway, any info you have would be gratefully received.
Check out :
"Spitalfields Life: In the Midst of Life I Woke to Find Myself Living in an Old House Beside Brick Lane in the East End of London."
Really gives a feel for the place.
Cheers
Liam
