Is it Pierre LE FEBRE and Rachel PLUS or David LE FEBRE and Elisabeth LE BLEU?

I have also seen it written as Le Leu

The parents: Pierre le Fébre & Rachel Le Febre Given in GISA were cut following this research:

"It appears that the Isaac le Fevre 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).

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 le Fèvre parents."

There are no sources we can find for David le Févre & Elizabeth 'Isabeau' Le Bleu as the parents either, so I have cut them too, until we find the sources.

The Discussion about them being rather the parents of Marie le Fébre SM/PROG is happening on this thread: https://www.geni.com/discussions/153810?msg=1072990.
