About Pierre le Fèvre, SV/PROG
Arrivals at the Cape in 1683 were Pierre le Fevre, his wife Marie de Grave and their son Guillaume. It is possible that Pierre was also accompanied by his sister Barbe, born about the year 1670. This family came from the village of Fleurbaix, west of Lille in the Pays de l’Al- leu. ( BOTHA, French refugees, p. 91; J. HOGE, 'Aantekeninge oor Huge- note’, TWK, Nuwe Reeks, VI, 1, Nov. 1945, p. 18). Was Barbe’s second husband of 1709, Roelof (Roloff) Jonasse, from Norway? (G 2, 7/1, Stellenbosch, Huweliksregister: April 22, 1709, p. 4.)

It appears that the Isaac le Febre referred to in the GISA entry (cf baptism date) was born in Vieille Eglise, Guines to parents Pierre le Fevre en Marie Guignart.
See: Isaac le Fevre, geboren te Vieille Eglise (Guines) op 28 oktober 1678, gedoopt te Calais {dtb Guines} op 13 November 1678 (doopgetuigen waren Isaac le Fevre en Suzanne le Roux), zoon van Pierre le Fevre en Marie Guignart.

Isaac's father therefore was:
'Pierre le Fevre, geboren te Canterbury (Eng) rond 1657, wonende te Vieille Eglise (Guines), zoon van Pierre le Fevre en Rachel Vanplus, (Vamplus)'.
Getuige 1679 bij huwelijk broer Isaac, samen met vader Pierre. Hij is getrouwd te Guînes (62) op 9 mei 1677 voor de kerk met Marie Guignart, geboren te Offekerque (62-Guînes) rond 1654, wonende te Vieille Eglise (Guines), dochter van Jean Guignart en Catherine Coman, (Copman).

[I understand from this that Pierre le Febre son of Pierre le Fevre and Marie Guignart - was not the husband of Marie de Grave - that there is a second Pierre CJB. If this is the case the solution is to disconnect this profile from this couple and replace him with the right one. We need to wait for the outcome of Jansi's deliberations]
He is clearly not our Pierre le Febre, who was from Fleurbaix, Pas-de-Calais, Nord-Pas-de-Calais, France:
A farming village some 15 miles (24.1 km) northeast of Béthune and 13 miles (20.9 km) west of Lille, at the junction of the D176 and the D171 roads, at the border with the department of Nord."
Our Pierre's parents were therefore not Pierre le Fevre en Rachel Vanplus either, since they were this Pierre's parents.
The information below should be followed up, since what we have is clearly wrong - JS
