I originally thought Ann Vertue was a pseudonym for Marie Anne L’Heureux. But further evidence shows this not to be the case. From the baptism records of her second husband Peter Guillebaud, the church was the French Church of Threadneadle Street and Peter Guillebaud’s name was “Frenchified” to Pierre — hence the mistake in thinking she had been Frenchified too.
Hannah Roberts in her will of 1818 describes Peter Guillebaud as her brother-in-law, even though by then he had remarried. Gearing Roberts describes Ann as his niece in his will of 1782. Both these factors make me sure Ann is daughter of Simon Vertue and Hannah Roberts.
Ann’s burial at non-conformist Bunhill Fields, 10th May 1813, put her age as 71. This is how I arrive at her birth in 1742.
